Florida man busted for calling 911 over improperly prepared sandwich

[CatWoman]

Folks, you can't make this shit up :)

AUGUST 5--If you're wondering what the guy who called 911 to complain about his Subway sandwiches looks like, well, meet Reginald Peterson. The 42-year-old Florida man became so upset last Thursday when a pair of subs "did not include 'everything' as he had requested," he called Jacksonville cops "so that the police could have his sandwich made to his specifications," according to a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office report. Peterson, pictured in the below mug shot, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of placing false 911 calls. A Subway employee told cops that an irate Peterson was "screaming at everyone in the business" because a worker could not seem to rectify the sandwich problem. As for the fate of the Subway grub, the sheriff's report notes, "The sandwiches were placed in a trash can at the suspect's request."

2. He's probably mentally ill or intellectually challenged.

I hope he gets help.

3. I don't think so

he reminds me of the dumb blonde who tried to dry her dog off in the microwave.

7. He's probably an asshole.

I'll bet he ordered some crazy, not-on-the-board sandwich and went ballistic when they left something off.

Loke maybe the paper umbrella.

4. "All efforts to calm the suspect.... failed."

You are so right, CatWoman, you can't make this shit up.

8. No sandwich makes a man act like that. Only a sammitch has that power.

9. like this one?

10. That's why I never use 9-1-1

This one is obvious, but they could really say any call to 9-1-1 is false or not an emergency. I have the number to the local police department, but doubt there is any reason to call it either, all they have to say to what you are calling about is "so, I don't care."

11. Poor man

I really wonder what percentage of jail inmates or even people mixed up with the court system are emotionally or intellectually challenged.

[CatWoman]

12. listen to the 9-11 call

it's at the link.

he sure doesn't sound challenged to me.

[SmileyRose]

15. That man can't be wrapped all that well.

I betcha he really genuinely CAN'T process the fact 911 isn't there to get you your sammiches made the way you want after you done gone postal all over the Subway sammich clerk.

16. You must have never seen those stupid 911 calls before

Yes there are stupid people that think calling 911 over a sandwich is appropriate.

13. Bastards forgot the oregano again.

I hate it when they do that.

14. Ever see those Whopper freakout ads where they say they aren't selling Whoppers anymore?

Supposedly, this is a prank, but I'm not sure how fake it is.......

17. I remember one night in a Jersey diner when...

someone freaked because his BLT had mayonnaise on it. Had to have him "escorted" out.

(When it's time to go off, ya just never know what's gonna set you off.)

18. You mean to tell me you've never had one of those days?

Sometimes you just gotta make a scene to get shit done right.

19. i know... I WANT MY SANDWICH HOW I WANT MY SANDWICH! HOW HARD IS THAT!?

:rofl:

20. Never fuck with people who make your food

I can't believe there are still people who don't understand this concept.

Edit: Gotta give props to the 911 operators. No one, especially people in a high stress job like a 911 operator, should have to deal with this sort of stupid. They handled it better than I would have.

21. Don't look into his eyes!!

That kind of stupidity can suck your intelligence out just by looking at it!!


The things people call the police about these days!!

Remember when the term "verbal assault" would have been considered an oxymoron?
