In the interest of full disclosure, we strongly believe Subway skimps on toppings and grossly exaggerates their role in Jared's weight loss. That being said, we're not calling 911 on them.That extreme measure was recently taken by 42-year-old Reginald Peterson of Jacksonville, Fla. Peterson dialed up the emergency hotline twice to report his local Subway (after his first call, he dialed up again because the police hadn't arrived quickly enough). His emergency complaint was that the store's "sandwich artists" had neglected to add sauce to his spicy Italian.
Employees said Peterson was already acting belligerent before he made the calls. When police finally did arrive on the scene, they tried to calm Peterson and explain the proper use of 911. When his rage failed to abate, they arrested him on charges of making false 911 calls.

IF HE WAS GOING TO CALL 911 ON SUBWAY FOR A REASON, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TO REPORT THE IMMIGRANTS THAT OWN AND WORK THERE THAT DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH

Wow, check the news, the owner and Manager are good ol hard working white people. This store is always clean and the service is excellent. The idiot from SIN CITY was clearly drunk and needed to go to jail to get him some free peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

i think the way cities/towns have tickets for jaywalking, parking viloations and etc, they should pass out tickets for "sheer stupidy". the great thing about doing this is just think of how much extra revenue a municipality could make.

Obviously this person has serious psychiatric problems or has been extremely spoiled his whole life. Arresting the individual may have taught him an immediate lesson IF he was rational enough to comprehend it. I really believe alot of the crazy things people do are based on internal struggles , medical conditions and frustration. The average person is good and decent and makes iraational choices when things get out of control. Obvious this man had some deep seated pain to be upset over something so irrelevant dig deeper guys! Dig deeper

Let's see now, this guy calls 911 to report Subway. Does that mean he'd call a fast food place
if he had a personal injury? Hmmm.

Mike, just imagine the possibilities; new schools, fixed streets and water mains, reminds me of the "Big Rock Candy Mountain". Hell, they could even abolish taxes!!

I have no complanes about my local Subway Shop. I get a meatball sub once or twice a month and it's great! If the guy didn't get the sauce he ask for why didn't he tell the employees to make up anouther one with sauce? Calling 911 to complane about the lack of sauce is really stupid and the guy should have his head examine.

Harassing 911 during his tantrum was the right thing to do. I mean, this is the type of nutcase who leaves... and comes back with a gun. And if the Subway employees accidentally left his sauce off on purpose (They said he was being a pain in the ass.), they made a very bad choice. It reflects poorly on the professionalism and customer service at Subway and all, but more importantly, people are crazy these days. This guy now has a serious ax to grind... with these employees. I would be very uncomfortable knowing he was out of jail. Was it worth it? And when this miscreant files suits against the JFPD and Subway, not only should his cases be tossed out; he should be required to pay the court costs for his grievous attempt to manipulate the justice system with this unwarranted, frivolous lawsuit.

Some ppl like lil kim don't know that all the people in US except the native Americans are immigrants... If you hate immigrants that much then wear something that's made in USA, don't go to a restaurant run by immigrants and don't eat anything.. coz it might be made from the product from another country....I think you can do it can you?
