Florida Man Arrested After Calling 911 to Complain About Small Clams

https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/florida-man-arrested-over-non-emergency-clams/122617

A man in Stuart, Florida was arrested after he called 911 twice to complain about the size of his clams at a seafood restaurant. According to King 5 News, an MSNBC affiliate in Seattle, Washington, Nelson Agosto ordered the dish at Crabby’s Seafood Shack where an employee warned him about its petite size.

After receiving his food, the 51-year-old complained to restaurant staff and they gave him another order for free. But he apparently didn’t want to pay for his first meal; he called 911 and said, “I ordered something, and it was extremely so small.”

The dispatcher reportedly told him to hang up and call a non-emergency police line. Although he told him the non-emergency phone number twice, the clammy customer called 911 again claiming he couldn’t get through.

When police made contact with Agosto, he alleged that he called 911 because he forgot the non-emergency number, King 5 News reports.
