A drunk Ohio woman was arrested and sentenced to three days in jail after looking for love in all the wrong places or more specifically, the 911 emergency system.
57 year old Audrey Scott, of Alliance, Ohio, called the 911 emergency system at least five times in an hour. When the operator answered, Scott asked the operator to find her a husband.
The operator warned that misusing 911 can result in an arrest, which Scott replied "absolutely."
Scott was convicted of misusing 911, and was sentenced to three days in jail. When asked why she did it, Scott replied that it was because of alcohol.
Time to drop that bottle of Jack. If she likes to drink a lot and wants to find a husband or at least some action, then just send her to the nearest bar. I am sure she will have no trouble there. Get me that husband!

A Florida man has been arrested and charged with misuse of 911 system after he called over 18 times in a two month period.
David G. Bouchard, 55, of Bradenton, Florida, was arrested by the Manatee County Sheriff after he reportedly called 911 at least 18 times in a two month period to report non emergency situations.
Bouchard called 911 last Tuesday to report that his neighbors front and back doors had been left open. When sheriff's arrived to check on the situation, Bouchard called 911 yet again and reported that the responding deputy was making out with his female neighbor. In total, Bouchard called 911 three times just that day.
When sheriff's realized that Bouchard had been misusing the 911 system, they arrested and charged him with a crime. Bouchard told the officers arresting him that his calls will still continue and the arrest means nothing.
They just need to ignore and cut this guy off from being able to call 911. His calls are a waste of time that could mean the difference between life and death, money, and resources. Sound harsh? What happens if you tried calling in and it was busy cause this guy needs to report that house doors are open. It is already hard enough to get through during a real emergency.
I say block this guys phone number from the 911 system completely. Then when he needs to report a real emergency, he can think about it while help is not on the way.
Maybe they can force him to read The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
