Cops: Drunk woman calls 911, claims to be Olivia Pope from "Scandal"

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Police arrested a woman who called 911 Friday morning and claimed to be a character on the TV show "Scandal."

CBS affiliate KGAN reports that Kelsey Cousins told officers she saw "Cyrus Bene" - the name of the character of the White House Chief of Staff on ABC's "Scandal" - outside the Sports Column bar on Dubuque Street.

Police reportedly say that Cousins told them her name was "Olivia Pope" - the main character on "Scandal" - and she kept talking about a bomb in a car that was heading to the White House.

Cousins reportedly failed a field sobriety test and was arrested for public intoxication and filing a false police report.
