Woman dials for 'emergency' divorce

A woman called 911 because she wanted a divorce.

The US citizen - who has not been named - rang the emergency services and asked the police to remove her husband from her home in Erie County, Pennsylvania, but the police refused to do so because no crime had been committed and told her the complaint is a civil matter.

As a result of her drastic action the woman has now been charged with the misuse of calling 911, the Erie Times-News reports.
