Dialed 911 for Date

Two Washington County (Ore.) sheriff’s deputies responded to a woman’s home to investigate a neighbor’s noise complaint, and thought they were finished with the call. But minutes after they left the woman dialed 911 and asked the dispatcher if the “cutie pie” deputy could return. The calltaker asked if she had an emergency, and the woman replied, “I don’t have an emergency… I’ll think of something… throw him back my way, would you?…. just blame it on my dog.” After the dispatcher questioned her reason for calling, the woman said, “Honey I’m just going to be honest with you, okay? I just thought he was cute, I’m 45-years-old and I’d just like to meet him again but I don’t know how to go about doing that without calling 9-1-1.” The deputy did indeed return, but arrested her for abusing 911. She faces a $6,000 fine and up to a year in jail. [She later received two years probation, 100 hours of community service and a $693 fine.]
