Who knows what she might have said when she called the cops.
The conversation between the gate and LE could have taken two general tracks, IMO
1. We have an oversell situation where we need to reclaim a seat from a passenger so we can fly crew to LEX. Can you assist?
2. We have a belligerent passenger who refuses to obey crew orders to deplane. Can you assist?
I'm going to go with option 2 until proven otherwise
