MYFOX NATIONAL - A Florida woman distressed that she was being shortchanged Chicken McNuggets at a local McDonald's restaurant dialed 911 to report the "emergency" (listen to the tapes) .The situation was so dire that she called three times in order to get help.
Latreasa Goodman, 27, ordered a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets meal on Saturday night in Fort Pierce, Fla., but then she was told that the restaurant was out of McNuggets. The restaurant offered another item from the menu, but would not refund her money due to store policy. Goodman called 911 to report the incident. "I called 911 because I couldn't get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets," she is quoted as saying in the police report.
When police explain to Goodman that this was not an emergency situation, she replied: "This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one."
The Smoking Gun Web site has the full police report and mug shot of Goodman (from a previous arrest).
McDonald's introduced the popular Chicken McNuggets in 1983. No word on how long Goodman has been a fan.
