Floridian Called 911 Three Times Over McNugget's Shortage
2009-03-03
Angered that her local McDonald's was out of Chicken McNuggets, a Florida woman called 911 three times to report the fast food "emergency." Latreasa Goodman, 27, last Saturday called police to complain that a cashier--citing a McDonald's all sales are final policy--would not give her a refund. When cops responded to the restaurant, Goodman told them, "This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one." Goodman noted, "I called 911 because I couldn't get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets," according to the below Fort Pierce Police Department report. That logic, however, did not keep cops from citing Goodman for misusing the 911 system. Even after being issued a misdemeanor citation, Goodman contended, "this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency." The McDonald's devotee is seen at right in a mug shot snapped after a previous encounter with police. Last month, a Florida man was arrested after he called 911 to complain about his displeasure with a Burger King combo meal.

#7  I could understand if the call was for a McRib.

#6  Yeah, after a tough day at med school, I'm sure Latreasa really needed them Chicken McNuggets to take the edge off...

#5  The manager of that McDonald's should be fired for selling McNuggets when none existed and not giving a refund.

The lady who called 911 should be thrown in jail overnight for abusing an emergency system.
