Man calls 911 after Subway left sauce off sandwich

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Jacksonville police say Reginald Peterson needs to learn that 911 is not the appropriate place to complain that Subway left the sauce off a spicy Italian sandwich. Police said the 42-year-old man dialed 911 twice last week so he could have his sub made correctly. The second call was to complain that officers weren't arriving fast enough.

Subway workers told police Peterson became belligerent and yelled when they were fixing his order. They locked him out of the store after he left to call police. When officers arrived, they tried to calm Peterson and explain the proper use of 911. Those efforts failed, and he was arrested on a charge of making false 911 calls.

Peterson did not have a listed phone number.
No kidding.

#5  In my town recently there was an elderly woman who regularly called 911 to complain when her Meals-on-Wheels delivery was late. This went on for several months before stopping - still not sure what stopped it.

#3  In other 911 news...

TAMPA - When Carlos Jose Gutierrez lost money in a sl0t machine at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casin0 early this morning, deputies say he didn't just walk away. He called 911. To report that a sl0t machine stole his money.

Shortly after midnight, Gutierrez was told by dispatchers that the sl0t machine did not steal his money and that it was a crime to call 911 to report that it did. After acknowledging that his call to 911 was wrong, Gutierrez left the casin0 and walked across the street.

Then he called 911 again to report that a sl0t machine stole his money.

This time, Gutierrez, 47, of 5613 Halifax Drive, was arrested and charged with making a false 911 call, a misdemeanor. Described in jail records as a self-employed investor, Gutierrez is being held at the Orient Road Jail with no bail set. He was on felony probation when arrested, according to jail records.

A self employed investor? Sounds like he invests his welfare check in sl0t machines and casin0 booze.
