Fla. man dials 911, complains his sub had no sauce

(08-04) 18:06 PDT Jacksonville, Fla. (AP) --

The sauce for a spicy Italian sandwich was apparently a must have for one Florida man. The man, Reginald Peterson, called 911 twice after a sandwich shop left off the sauce.

Peterson initially called the emergency number Thursday so that officers could have his subs made correctly, according to a police report. The second call was to complain that police officers weren't arriving fast enough.

Subway workers told police that Peterson, 42, became belligerent and yelled when they were fixing his order. They locked him out of the store when 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.

I apologize if this has been posted, I haven't seen it. Must have been a moran, maybe even a freeper.
:rofl:

First thing I thought when I saw the headline. :rofl:

A man wants his wife to sign divorce papers his attorney prepared. She won't. He calls the police.

A mother can't get her 8 year old to do his homework. She calls the police.

Many people think 911 is the number to call to get the police, so they can make someone do something. They don't really understand the part about laws.

They are more important than everybody else so they can go to the very front of the line and cut in. To hell with how it affects anybody else.

Of course, it is also a matter of what constitutes an emergency. You have to just shake your head and laugh.
