Video:Man Dials 911 For Sandwich Emergency

man dials 911 for sandwich emergency



the sauce on his subway italian sub was missing.

a hankering for special sauce at his neighborhood subway led a jacksonville man to dial 911 - twice - after the sauce was left off his spicy italian sandwich.

reginald peterson, 42, told officers he called the emergency number so he could have his subs made correctly, according to a police report. a few minutes later, he dialed 911 again to complain the police weren't arriving fast enough.

peterson walked into the arlington sandwich shop about 7:45 p.m. thursday and ordered two subs - a spicy italian with everything and a chicken breast. when he discovered the spicy italian didn't have sauce, he demanded that it be corrected, according to a police report.

employees told police the burly construction worker became belligerent while a sandwich maker was working on his order, then went outside to call 911 "so that the police could have his sandwich made to his specifications," the report said.

"we put everything that he asked for on it, and he comes back hollering at everyone," said one employee, who wouldn't give her name because of company policy. "he was mad because we didn't put any sauces on it."

the store manager was so alarmed that he locked the store while peterson was outside and called police himself, using a non-emergency number.

when officers showed up, they said, they attempted 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. he has prior convictions for burglary, battery and disorderly intoxication.

he couldn't be located saturday for comment .

as for the sandwiches, peterson instructed officers to throw them in the garbage.

dog dials 911 to save owner's life

a german shepherd dog saved his owner's life by calling for an ambulance when the man suffered a seizure.

police officers in scottsdale, arizona, could hear the whimpering and barking of buddy after receiving the 911 call.

dispatcher chris trott can be heard on a recording of the incident saying: "hello, this is 911. hello... can you hear me? is there somebody there you can give the phone to?"

police were sent to joe stalnaker's home and after about three minutes buddy is heard on the recording barking loudly when they arrive.

mr stalnaker's address was flagged in the scottsdale system's with a notification that a trained assistance dog could call 911 when the owner was incapacitated.

police explained mr stalnaker adopted buddy at the age of eight weeks from michigan-based paws with a cause, which trains assistance dogs.

buddy, now 18 months old, has been trained to press programmed buttons until a 911 operator is on the line, should his owner suffer seizure symptoms.

this was the third time he has called the emergency services on behalf of mr stalnaker.

scottsdale police sergeant mark clark said mr stalnaker spent two days in a hospital but has recovered from the seizure.

he said: "it's pretty incredible. even the veteran dispatchers - they haven't heard of anything like this."

sgt clark added mr stalnaker's seizures are the result of a head injury he suffered about 10 years ago during a military training exercise.
