…and again it’s fast food related. Here are some old ones in case you missed them.
This time, a man and his 2 friends called 911 because they , “paid $10 and these guys gave me one burger and fries — that’s it, man.”
After being told that wasn’t an emergency, did it end? No.
They called back. They said they wanted a cop there, or they’d sue 911.
You are going to sue our office because you’re calling 911 and they didn’t give you the correct food?
By this time, they were making such a scene that others called 911 about them.
But it doesn’t end there. They decided to up the ante.
The caller said, “Oh my God, the lady at McDonalds has a gun pointed at my head. Send a cop right now.”
Mickelson [the dispatcher] asks, “Does she have a gun pointed at your head?”
“Yup. You’re going to send me a cop,” demands the caller.
“Yes, I’m going to send you a cop. What’s your name?” asks Mickelson.
“My name is Jeremy Martin. Send me a cop right now!” the caller said.
There was no gun but there was a Jeremy Martin.
Martin, 23, was arrested for improper use of 911.
On a related PSA note:
With Fourth of July fast approaching dispatchers warn everyone not to call 911 with noise complaints; police won’t respond to them.
Also, it’s 4th of July, so live with it. Or, as Jeff’s neighbor would put it, “grow up.”

I broke down and had to create a 911 tag. It's got to be one of the top covered topics around here.
