When will people understand the meaning of that word emergency?
Not soon enough, in the case of 23-year-old Jeremy Martin, who called 9-1-1 dispatchers in his Oregon community several times to report that a McDonald’s worker had failed to fill his order correctly.
According to a story in The Oregonian , he insisted that he gave the worker $10 but got only one burger and fries in return. Although warned not to call again, he did so several times and insisted he would sue unless a policeman showed up.
Jeremy got his wish and was arrested for improper use of the 9-1-1 system.
