An Indiana man got the attention of local police after he tried to order a cheeseburger by calling 911 nine times. According to WISHTV, 52-year-old Gregory Jackson Sr. has reportedly had past run-ins with police, but this may be the most bizarre. Jackson reportedly made the nine phone calls in just 90 minutes. Eventually, New Castle, Ind., police showed up at Jackson’s home and arrested him. Finally, the dispatcher sent police to Jackson’s residence. Though, despite the series of strange calls, the dispatcher was reportedly concerned Jackson was calling, because he hadn’t eaten food in a long time. A partial transcript of the exchange between Jackson and the 911 dispatcher who spoke with him, according to WISHTV: Dispatcher: Do you have an emergency sir, because you dialed 911. Jackson: I dialed 911. Dispatcher: Yeah you dialed 911. ... Dispatcher: OK, so why did you call 911 for, what do you need. Dispatcher: Do you have an emergency? Jackson: A cheeseburger. Dispatcher: Have a good day. Jackson then called back into the emergency phone line. Dispatcher: 911, Your emergency. Jackson: Yes, I just spoke with you. You hung up on me. Dispatcher: Well I asked if you had an emergency. You said no, you needed a cheeseburger. So we don't take cheeseburger orders. And still, Jackson calls back demanding a cheeseburger from the dispatcher. Dispatcher: You know if you give me some information maybe we can try and help you out. And finally, the dispatcher was on the phone with Jackson when the authorities arrived on the scene. Dispatcher: You hear them knocking? Jackson: Yes. The police apparently did not arrive with cheeseburgers in hand. But they also have yet to charge Jackson over the series of 911 calls. Instead, they arrested him on a separate outstanding warrant for failing to show up to an appointed court date regarding a separate charge.

I think it's time we all contribute to Dak's bail fund before the weekend. I'm in for the price of a Happymeal.

Count me in. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. They could have made themselves useful and just brought the guy a cheeseburger.
They could have, but Dakmar baits them, so they're going to throw the book at him fer sure.

Damn, I had a snarky racial comment all lined up & the guy turns out to be white trash.

RTV6 confirmed Jackson was given a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich and was not sent to bed hungry. I've always found it prudent to ask for fish-sticks when calling 9-1-1, results in immediate transfer to suicide hotline. Tricky part is scrounging up a really good tartar sauce.

Ah well and good then at least the lunatic got fed something ... maybe with something on his stomache he'll think more clearly.... when I was young and stupid and playing transeite on the streets, I just ate at the grocery store... I don't like the being arrested experience.

I try to eat fresh veggies, fruit, and whole grains, in that order, but can't resist cake.

I am very far from being a vegetarian yet very intimate with why I should be.... one day... Still I think I am gonna keep fish and to a lesser degree chicken in my diet. Foul and fish are so far below mammals I see no wrong in munching on them in moderation. __ Their are only two kinds of americans left in the USA those opposed to the tyranny and those that are wrong.

Great stuff here in south Austin.

"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking; where it is absent, discussion is apt to become worse than useless." ~ Leo Tolstoy

Henry County Sheriff Butch Baker told the newspaper that if Jackson got a meal after his arrival at the jail Friday night, it would have been a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich, not a cheeseburger.
