It wouldn’t be SHOCKING if someone suffered a medical emergency eating endless shrimp . . . so maybe that was this guy’s thinking:

 

 

A 26-year-old man in Georgia named Abdul Rasheed was arrested last week, after he faked a medical emergency and called 911 to avoid paying for his meal.

 

 

He was at a Red Lobster, where he owed $63.77.  It’s unclear what he had ordered, or what medical condition he was faking.  (There’s also no audio from the 911 call.)

 

 

He was checked over by first responders, and he was deemed to be FINE.

 

 

Abdul is facing charges of theft of services and making an unlawful 911 call.  It sounds like he’s still in jail, and his bond is set at $3,000.  Maybe he plans to fake a medical emergency to get out without paying it?  (???)
