Jill Kelley Cites “Inviolability” in 911 Call

The Tampa socialite linked to Gen. John Allen and former CIA director David Petraeus called 911 several times to complain about the media that descended on her home after news of her connection to the scandal broke. In one recording she attempted to invoke special privileges, citing her title as honorary consul for South Korea, and suggesting that the police consider providing her diplomatic protection. "I am an honorary consul general, so I have inviolability," she told the 911 dispatcher. "They should not be able to cross my property. I don't know if you want to get diplomatic protection involved as well?" While NBC News confirmed that Kelley is in fact an honorary consul to South Korea—a role that involves occasionally assisting the consulate with things like passports and visas—it also confirmed that she was not an employee of the State Department and has no diplomatic immunity. In other 911 calls, Kelley complained that at least 10 people were blocking access to her driveway and that strangers were bashing on her door and trying to push it open. Kelley's complaints to the FBI about allegedly harassing and menacing emails were traced back to Paula Broadwell, Petraeus' biographer who was found to be having an affair with the four-star general, according to NBC News sources.
