Woman uses 9-1-1 as dating service?

Emergency service 911 is not meant to be used as a dating service.
Just ask an Oregon woman who authorities say learned the hard way.

They say it started when some neighbors called the sheriff with a noise complaint about Lorna Jeanne Dudash. A deputy came to her door.

After he left, Dudash allegedly dialed the emergency number, asking dispatchers to send back the "cutie pie," as she put it.

The apparently stunned operator asked again why she needed help, and Dudash answered that she wanted to meet the handsome deputy.

He returned. After confirming there was no emergency, he gave Dudash a date -- but not the kind she appeared to be hoping for.
She got a court date on charges of 911 misuse. Conviction can carry a year in jail plus thousands in fines. Article here.
