Ana Perez, 40, called 911 Sunday night claiming her boyfriend was attacking her, but changed her story when officers arrived, according to WBBM.
"She called 911 to scare [her boyfriend] and have the police force him to marry her," Grand Central District police Capt. Ronald Pontecore told NBC Chicago. "It puts us in jeopardy and the public. It's not a good thing. It ticked the officers off."
The captain told WBBM that officers rushed to the scene thinking a woman was in danger.
Perez, who was reportedly hoping for a New Year's engagement, was charged with one count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
Police said her boyfriend was breaking up with her when she made the call.
