Jeremy Martin
CLACKAMAS, Ore. - No one is happy when the wrong change is given back or when customer service is lacking, but very few would go the lengths to show their displeasure as 23-year-old Jeremy Martin went Friday morning.
Clackamas County 9-1-1 received a phone call around 4 in the morning from a female worried a group of men were threatening and harassing a McDonald's drive-thru attendant.
Soon thereafter, the emergency dispatch received a phone call from a man upset that he gave $10 to McDonalds near the Town Center Mall and he got "one burger and a fry."
The dispatch officer told Martin it was not a police matter and to take it up with the manager. Martin said it was an emergency because he was "robbed." The dispatch disconnected the call.
Not deterred, Martin called again and reiterated that he "was robbed for $8." The dispatch officer-a different one from before-advised Martin that it was not an emergency and warned him that he could get arrested for misuse of 9-1-1.
Martin said, "Than arrest me at 82nd and Sunnyside Road. Please send a cop right now. You can not tell me I can call 9-1-1 and I can not get a cop. Are you telling me I can't get a cop right here at 82nd and Sunnyside Road? I will sue your [expletive] office right now!"
The dispatch officer was at first shocked and then upset at the tone and language Martin used, but Martin continued.
"I got cheated! Please send an officer right now because I spent $10 at McDonalds and all I got was one burger so please a cop out here right now! Good-bye!"
One of Martin's friends then called and started out calmly trying to explain the situation of the McDonald's mixing up the order.
The dispatch officer-a different officer from the one Martin just talked to-warned the man that 9-1-1 was for "life and death situations only."
The friend was not pleased with that.
"Send a [expletive] cop then, [expletive]! Send one mother [expletive]! [Expletive] you! And send a cop! [Expletive] you! [Expletive] you! I know what [expletive] 9-11 is for, [expletive]! Send me a [expletive] cop! That's what the [expletive] you do! Do your job and send a cop to the McDonald's at 82nd and Sunnyside!"
Amazingly, the dispatch officer remained calm and repeatedly told the man 9-1-1 is for life and death situations only.
The man then said the McDonald's employee has a gun pointed to his head and he fears for his life.
The dispatch said he is sending out an officer.
A McDonald's employee called 9-1-1 fearful the men may harm them.
Martin called back with the same complaint.
The dispatch officer, who was the first officer Martin talked to, warned Martin again that 9-1-1 is life-and-death only and wanted to know if it is a life-and-death situation and if anyone is in danger.
"Yes, this is a life-and-death situation," Martin said. "I am getting ready to die because these guys are taking my money. We're not playing around, here! Can you send a cop out here? Is this normal that you just take calls and not send a cop?"
The dispatch again told Martin that he will get arrested for misuse of 9-1-1. The call ended with Martin in disbelief that he will get arrested for "paying $10 for one burger."
An officer shortly thereafter showed up at the scene and arrested Martin.
