Florida Man Accused Of Calling 911 To Gripe About Small Clams

A Florida man has been accused of misusing the emergency telephone system after he allegedly called 911 to gripe about being served tiny clams at a local seafood restaurant.
Nelson Agosto of Stuart, in the southeast region of the state, was arrested Dec. 18 after he allegedly made the 911 calls from Crabbys Seafood Shack.
It all started because the 51-year-old Agosto was on his lunch break and dying to eat some clams, according to The Smoking Gun.
Agosto told the website he was disappointed that the restaurant wanted to charge him $12 for a plate of tiny clams that had nothing in the shell.
When restaurant staff refused to give Agosto a refund, he allegedly called 911 hoping an officer would help resolve what he perceived to be a gross miscarriage of justice.
