NOT THE SHARPEST KNIVES IN THE DRAWER: 9-1-1 Orange Juice Call May Lead To Orange Jumpsuit
Raibin Raof Osman, 20, of Aloha, WA, called 9-1-1 to complain that McDonald's forgot the OJ from his drive-thru order, and that the attendant was laughing at his brother’s broken English, reports The Oregonian:
A restaurant employee later called 9-1-1 to report that Osman and others who were with him were blocking the drive-thru lane, knocking on restaurant windows and intimidating employees. …
When sheriff's deputies arrived at the McDonald's, Osman was unwilling to listen to deputies explain that 9-1-1 wasn't in the business of straightening out fast food orders, said Sgt. David Thompson, spokesman for the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Osman claimed that he did not know the non-emergency number - he could have called 4-1-1 or Googled it on his Blackberry, or looked it up in one of the phone books at the payphones in the parking lot – and was argumentative, so he ended up spending a night in jail on the Class B misdemeanor charge of improper use of 9-1-1. If convicted, Osman could get up top six months in jail and be fined $2,500.
