McNutt to Cops: "McNuggets Are an Emergency!"

Posted Mar 3rd 2009 12:07PM by TMZ Staff

Latreasa GoodmanThere's a reason this woman is wearing a serious grimace on her face -- she was just arrested over a box of Chicken McNuggets!!

Here's how it all went down: Latreasa Goodman claims she ordered -- and paid -- for a box of some delicious nuggets at a Mickey D's in Florida over the weekend, when suddenly the unthinkable happened -- she was told there were no more nuggets to be had. When an employee told her it was against store policy to give refunds, Latreasa called 911 -- three times in a row.

When the cops got to the scene, they tried to explain that McNugget drama is not an emergency -- but according to the police report obtained by TheSmokingGun.com, Latreasa begged to differ:

"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. This is an emergency."

But here's the rub: Even after cops cited her for "misuse of 911," Latreasa continued to tell cops, "This is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency."

FYI -- the mug shot in this post is from a previous arrest. We're guessing Der Wienerschnitzel ran out of chili.

2. Why wouldn't McDonald's just give the lady her money back if they didn't have what she wanted? What a horrible policy.

9. She did deserve a refund and the staff should have given it to her, but she went about it the wrong way. McDonalds would have given her lots of free coupons if she wrote or emailed head office.

12. Okay, so calling 911 may not have been a measured response to the situation, but I can understand her frustration.

Imagine purchasing something, and after they take YOUR money, you are told that they do not have what you just purchased Oh, and that you DO NOT get your money back, you have to make another selection.

I would be livid too. What kind of place does not give a refund? They should not have sold something they did not have to sell.

I think the police should NOT have given her a ticket. She was frustrated and felt helpless and screwed over and she gets cited for it. You know damn well had she called the regular non-emergency police line those lazy cops would have taken several hours to come out. If cops don't want people to use 911 for non-emergency reasons then they should get off their fat lazy asses and respond to the non-emergency calls. Cops exist to serve the community and that includes disputes between retailers and consumers. If ANYONE has needed a cop for a non-emergency reason you know they take forever to get there.

This McDonald's should be sued for intentional trespass to personal property.

13. They should have told her they didnt have any McNuggets when she placed her order.

14. She was in the right, but handled it the wrong way. Who eats at McDonald's anymore anyway? Nasty sh!t.

15. OMG, this exact thing happened to me a few weeks ago but it involved hamburgers. All I wanted was a #2 without cheese. The biotch behind the counter said they were out of hamburgers but I could get a quarter pounder. HOW DO YOU RUN OUT OF HAMBURGERS, YOU ARE McDONALDS! And THEN when I tried to get a happy meal, the d-bag told me they stopped serving happy meals after 11pm. I ended up going with the mcnuggets. Need less to say, I can never show my face there after the scene I caused.
