ALLIANCE, Ohio (AP) - A northeast Ohio woman spent three days in jail for calling the 911 emergency line five times seeking a husband.
The dispatcher, familiar with odd calls, was flabbergasted and asked Audrey Scott of Alliance, "You need to get a husband?"
The 57-year-old Scott responded, "Yes."
Scott was warned that she could face arrest for misusing 911 and responded, "Let's do it."
She was convicted last week of improper use of the 911 system and was sentenced to the three days in jail, which she had already served since her arrest. Seven additional days were suspended if she stays out of trouble for a year.
After her release, Scott blamed the incident on drinking. There is no phone listing for Scott, who could not be reached for additional comment Wednesday.
