Fifty Seven year old Ohio woman Audrey Scott spent three days in jail for calling the police emergency line five times……. seeking a husband.
The dispatcher was reported to be ‘flabbergasted’ by the request. She asked Scott
You need to get a husband?
Scott responded
Yes
The despatcher told her that she could face arrest for misusing the emergency call line, Scott responded
Let’s do it
She was convicted last week of improper use of the emergency system and was sentenced to the three days in jail, which she had already served since her arrest, according to The Review newspaper. Seven other days were suspended if she stays out of trouble for a year.
Scott blamed the case on alcohol… or should that be ‘a case of alcohol’?
Perhaps a billboard advertisment may be a safer option.
