LONDON: A woman has been charged after dialling emergency services over a Chinese takeaway order. Elizabeth Niemi from Hooksett, New Hampshire rang 911, claiming she needed medical help, reports local publication The Hooksett Banner.
A police statement explained: “Upon the Fire Department’s arrival, it was found that she wanted help ordering Chinese food.” Authorities obtained a warrant and arrested Niemi around a fortnight later for the misuse of emergency services.
She is due in Hooksett Circuit Court on April 17. A similar incident happened in 2011 when a Savannah woman called police to complain about a wrong Chinese order.
Hello fire department, can I order noodles please?
