Nina Dobrev says she was “paranoid” about getting arrested when a few years ago she went out on a blind date and the man happened to be a police officer.

“I went on a date once with a police officer, unbeknownst to me. I thought he was a regular guy. And when I found out that he was a police officer...I wasn’t so into it. I got paranoid that I would illegally cross the street and get a ticket for jay walking,” eonline.com quoted Dobrev as saying.

“I thought he was gonna arrest me every five seconds, so it obviously didn’t go anywhere after that,” she added.

The Vampire Diaries star still gets very nervous around members of law enforcement.

“Even when I’m not doing something wrong, when there’s a police officer (around), I suddenly feel guilty for nothing,” she said.

The Let’s Be Cops star split from Ian Somerhalder in May 2013 after three years together.
