Drunken Ohio Man Calls 911 Ten Times Over Poor Restaurant Service
20-year-old Cincinnati, Ohio native Christian Luckett has proven that, in fact, the customer is not always right. He has been charged with one count of disorderly conduct after placing 10 calls to 911 over the crap service he received at a local Skyline Chili restaurant. Oh, and he was intoxicated. Officers had previously led Luckett out of the restaurant for not paying for his food. He called 911 to complain about his removal from the restaurant, claiming the police officers were trying to “extort” him out of the building, notes Daily UK.
Drunk, thrown out of the restaurant (without paying) and then continued to call 9-1-1. At least the police arrested him, around here this would definitely have ended up as an EMS call. And a BLS crew would have insisted on testing his blood glucose. Sigh…
He waived his right to an attorney and pleaded “not guilty.” He’ll be back in court July 12th.
Waived his right to an attorney, so he’ll represent himself “pro se”. Which is a latin term meaning “moron will represent himself in court”, with the expected result I’d guess.
There are more more details at the Daily UK link above.
This just reinforces my opinion that cell phone calls to 9-1-1 should incur a $100.00 charge to the account that can be refunded if the call is legit. Think of it as a 9-1-1 co pay.
Seriously.
I’d vote for the $100 charge!!!
If this paper is operated the same way as its UK namesake is, the facts will be probably be wrong. If it us the UK rag, it *will* be wrong in my experience. Google Daily Mail & innoculations.
