A 20-year-old man who called 911 to get his fast-food order straightened out has been told to pay a $300 fine. Washington County, Ore., sheriff's deputies said Raibin Raof Osman called the emergency line to complain that a McDonald's in Aloha had left out a box of orange juice from his drive-through order. A restaurant employee later called 911 to report that Osman and others who were with him were blocking the lane, knocking on restaurant windows and intimidating employees.
Deputies tried to explain to Osman that refereeing such disputes is not what they do. They said he insisted he had the legal right to call police. He was taken to jail.
The Oregonian said Osman pleaded guilty recently to improper use of 911 and has been ordered to pay the fine.
