Georgia diner calls 911 to try to dodge $63 Red Lobster bill, cops say
October 2, 2026
A man tried to dodge his dinner bill by faking a medical emergency and calling 911 at a Georgia Red Lobster last week, according to authorities.
Abdul Rasheed, 26, wound up essentially calling cops on himself on Sept. 24 when he tried to skip out on his $63 bill at the seafood joint located on Highway 5 in Douglasville, Ga, WSB-TV Atlanta reported.
When emergency responders arrived, they found Rasheed perfectly fine — but apparently unwilling to pay for his feast.
Instead of an ambulance trip, Rasheed got an exclusive ride in the back of a cop car.
Douglasville police arrested him and charged him with theft of services, unlawful conduct during a 911 call, and making a false report, police said.

He was booked into Douglas County Jail.
