Mugshot of Bernadette Music of Ohio, arrested for allegedly calling 911 to ask dispatchers for dates.

Police say an Ohio woman is in trouble after looking for love in all the wrong places – namely, the local 911 dispatch centre.

Bernadette Music, 43, of Norwood, Ohio, faces charges after authorities said she repeatedly phoned 911 while drunk to ask the dispatchers for help getting a date.

According to news.cincinnati.com, court records indicate authorities arrested her for the calls at about 5 p.m. Sunday.

The lonely woman is also accused of urinating in the hallway of her apartment building.

Music, who has become an overnight celebrity since reports of her drunken calls started coming out Monday, said she's not embarrassed.

“I'm very brave and bold,” she told News9.


However, she also told the TV station: “I can't believe I did that. I must have been drunk and didn't realize it.”

Last month, Audrey Scott of Alliance, Ohio, made similar calls to 911 – phoning the emergency number five times in one hour, looking for a husband.

She spent three days in jail for the desperate stunt.
