Would you like fries with that? Man calls 911 nine times trying to order a cheeseburger



An Indiana man was arrested on Friday after he called 911 nine times in 90 minutes, repeatedly trying to order a cheeseburger.

'We don't take cheeseburger orders,' the 911 dispatcher told the persistent caller Gregory Jackson Sr.

Mr Jackson kept calling the emergency line and police finally drove over to his apartment in New Castle, Indiana and took him into custody.

Transcripts from call portray the caller as incoherent and much of what he told the 911 operator was inaudible.

'Do you have an emergency sir, because you dialed 911,' the dispatcher asked, according to WISH-TV.



Gregory responded, 'I dialed 911.'

The dispatcher probed, 'Do you have an emergency?'

The man said, 'A cheeseburger.'

But not to be ignored the man called back and complained that the dispatcher had hung up on him.

'Well I asked if you had an emergency. You said no, you needed a cheeseburger. So we don't take cheeseburger orders,' the dispatcher said.



In the course of his repeated calls, the 911 dispatcher became concerned that the caller hadn't eaten in awhile.



The police discovered that Mr Jackson had an extensive rap sheet and police decided to pay him a home visit.



They arrested him since he is wanted on a warrant for failing to show in court for a previous charge.
