Florida man arrested for calling 911, asks dispatcher on date

You have to hand it to him: Stephen Ramsey is persistent.

According to

,the 45-year-old Collier County, Florida man was arrested after dialing 911 three times to ask the female dispatcher on a date. She, of course, wasn't interested.

Still, Ramsey kept her on the phone for more than six minutes and asked her if she was "into handcuffs,"  the Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

After he finally hung up, police were sent to his home where they say he told an officer he was looking for an escort to pass the time.

Investigators say Ramsey smelled of alcohol and was slurring his speech. He's currently in the Collier County Jail and is charged with misuse of the 911 system.
