Levittown Woman Made Over 1,000 Calls To Dispatchers: Court Records

LEVITTOWN, PA —A Bristol Township woman has been charged with making more than 1,000 calls to dispatchers in Bucks County and throughout the nation, court records state.

Erica Lynn Saresky, 27, who lives in Bristol Township’s Levittown section, has been charged via summons with communications with 911, harassment, and disorderly conduct. She faces a June 6 preliminary hearing.

Bristol Township detectives found on Saresky's cell phone that she made more than 800 calls in a span between December and January, including 169 calls to the Bucks County Department of Emergency Communications alone on Jan. 2, court records indicate.

She also is accused of making calls to dispatchers in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Utah.

Bristol Township Detective Alexander Asmann stated in a criminal complaint obtained by Patch that he spoke with Detective Matthew Fracker of the La Vergne, Tenn., Police Department that dispatchers there began receiving numerous calls in January from phone number 501-498-1138 making lewd comments referencing an internal affairs investigation that made national headlines.

On Jan., around 6:24 a.m., the same caller made a verbal threat to blow up the La Vergne Police station, Asmann stated.

The provider of phone number was determined to be Talkatone, LLC, who was then contacted, and an emergency request for information form was submitted.

Court records said the phone number was accessed through an app utilizing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), which is a technology that allows someone to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line.

Call logs and IP logs were provided for a 48-hour period. Within that time, 189 calls were placed to the police department, all with the same IP address.

A search warrant of Saresky's Farmbrook Drive home in early February found an Apple iPhone 13 Pro seized from a bedroom that Saresky said was used exclusively by her. The phone included the Talkatone app.

On Feb. 2, a search of the Bristol Township Police database determined that Bucks County Emergency Communications received at least five calls of "a harassing nature" from Saresky on Jan. 27. Communications staff asked police to "attempt to curtail these persistent, harassing calls which served no legitimate purpose," court records state.

Asmann was told by Bucks County Emergency Services Supervisor Jay Thompson that the number and scope of non-legitimate, harassing telephone calls to the 911 operator in Bucks County "had reached a critical limit."

A document provided to Bristol Township Police by the Bucks County Emergency Services detailed the calls, stating that over 59 days, 889 individual calls were made with "repeat calling for hours on end."

"This condition, in essence, not only enhances the harassing nature of these communications, it also poses a greater risk that the emergency services system would not be able to connect with legitimate calls for service for long periods of time within a given day," Thompson told police according to court papers.

Over the course of time, Saresky is accused of making numerous calls on these dates:

• Dec. 5 —48 calls
• Dec. 7 —184 calls
• Dec. 9 —20 calls
• Dec. 11 —52 calls
• Dec. 17 —48 calls
• Dec. 22 —20 calls
• Dec. 31 —74 calls
• Jan. 2 —169 calls
• Jan. 6 —65 calls
• Jan. 23 —135 calls

Saresky has a history of criminal incidents over the past few years.

Court documents show Saresky has been charged with prior incidents of communications with 911, public drunkenness, resisting arrest, and theft from a motor vehicle.
