Actress 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.
