LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A woman hoping to use her local 911 emergency response service for a love connection was slapped with a fine and possible jail time, police said.
Neighbors of Lorna Dudash of Aloha, Oregon, just southwest of Portland, called the police to complain of noise coming from her apartment, and a local deputy responded, according to police quoted by the Portland television station KGW.
After the deputy left, Dudash dialed 911 and asked for the "cutie pie" deputy to return.
"He's the cutest cop I've seen in a long time," Dudash told the dispatcher. "I just want to know his name. Heck, it doesn't come very often that a good man comes to your doorstep."
The good man indeed returned -- to arrest Dudash for misuse of the emergency system.
"I'm 45 years old and I'd just like to meet him again, but I didn't know how to go about doing that without calling 911," she said in a dispatch call broadcast by KGW.
For her dating ploy, Dudash now faces up to a year in jail and a 6,000-dollar fine.
