(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Several months after a woman called 9-1-1 because of a " McNuggets emergency ," another person is in trouble for calling 9-1-1 and claiming McDonald's robbed him.

OregonLive.com reports that Jeremy Lloyd Martin, 23, called 9-1-1 repeatedly last Friday after he said an employee at McDonald's failed to fulfill his complete order and cheated him out of $8. Martin claims that he gave the employee $10, but only got a burger and fries. Listen to the calls .

The 9-1-1 dispatchers reportedly told Martin that he was abusing the system and should stop, but Martin kept calling back. Police arrived shortly thereafter and took Martin into custody.

In March a Florida woman called 9-1-1 three times (listen to the call) after she found out her local McDonald's ran out of Chicken McNuggets. The "McNuggets emergency" is just one in a group of infamous 9-1-1 calls that have been made over the years.

People seem to be calling 911 for some strange reasons these days. These unecessary calls can tie up a vital service for the public, but some of them are so ridiculous you just have to laugh. Check out some of the latest.
