OCTOBER 16--A Tennessee man who claimed to have been overcharged a penny on the purchase of a can of beer was arrested Monday after calling police three times to complain about the transaction.

Danny Smith, 51, called 911 after buying a 16-ounce can of Heineken at the Night and Day Food Market in Memphis. He told responding officers that “the store clerk over charged him and owed him 1 cent in change,” according to a criminal complaint.

Police told Smith that the alleged overcharge was a civil matter, adding that he should not dial 911 “in Non Life Threatening Situations.” An agitated Smith then walked away from the market.

I wonder what is Danny Smith's DU name is.  :whatever: ::) :mental:  :loser:

The cop should have followed the idiot home to make sure he didn't open and drink the beer in public or while driving.

Had to pay a $250 bond over a penny.

Stupidity might not always be painful, but at least in this case, it was expensive.
