TORONTO – One woman has taken it upon herself to rid her Ohio town of bad Chinese food by calling 911.

An upset Tracey McCloud, 44, called the emergency services hotline Monday after ordering a meal from Main Moon Chinese Restaurant in Alliance that was, according to her, “not to par.”

“And this is why you called 911?” the operator could be heard asking.

The unnamed operator went on to explain that McCloud should have contacted local police directly instead but was interrupted when the caller insisted she had been transferred to that operator.

An officer was sent to McCloud and she was later charged with misuse of 911 – a fourth degree misdemeanour – according to police.

McCloud is scheduled to appear Friday in a municipal court, according to WKYC.
