Drunk Woman to 911 Operator: Find Me a Husband
Audrey Scott jailed after trying to dial-a-mate...5 times   (?Naomie's life)

She was looking to shack up for life, but instead, she found herself in the big house for 3 days. An Ohio woman was arrested and sent to jail after calling 911 looking for a husband—five times. The dumbfounded dispatcher tried to clarify her request by asking Audrey Scott, "You need to get a husband?" The 57-year-old replied, "Yes." She then told Scott she could be arrested for misusing 911. Scott responded, "Let's do it."

Scott, who blamed her actions on alcohol, was convicted last week of improper use of the 911 system, reports the AP. (More 911 call stories.)
