Daria Fryziuk, 45, was adjudicated guilty in Sarasota County on July 1, 2010, after calling 911 in North Port, Florida, to complain that a pizzeria delivery left her with about five chicken wings for $13.

Fryziuk dialed 911 on May 1, 2010, after ordering from a local pizzeria and calling the restaurant to complain about the small portion, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. She said the manager hung up on her and called her a name. Unable to resolve it with the restaurant, she called police instead.

On the recording, Fryziuk told the dispatcher she knew the complaint was not a real emergency. "It's not an emergency, ma'am," she said. "I know you guys have more problems than this ridiculous thing that I'm calling you about. I just ordered food." She asked for an officer to come look at the wings and to take a report against the pizzeria manager for name-calling.

North Port police policy at the time required that any resident who asked for an officer would get one. Officers went to Fryziuk's home on May 1, but instead of helping her get a refund, they cited her for misuse of the 911 or E911 system, a misdemeanor under Florida law.

"It's a challenge, put it that way," Police Chief Terry Lewis told the Herald-Tribune of the officer-on-request policy. "An absolute policy like that certainly does create some challenges, but not to the point where it strains our ability to respond, only because we prioritize."

Fryziuk initially pleaded not guilty, but changed her plea that June. A Sarasota County judge placed her on probation, according to county court records, and she was assessed several hundred dollars in court costs and fees. Fryziuk said afterward she was mortified by the episode. "I will never make that mistake again," she said. "I have the local North Port Police Department in my phone book."
