Perhaps this New Castle, Ind. man should have just gone to White Castle.

Gregory Jackson Sr. was arrested on Friday after calling 911 asking for a cheeseburger. New Castle Police said the 52-year-old was so hungry that he dialed emergency services nine times in a 90 minute window.

According to WishTV.com, the dispatcher sent police to Jackson’s apartment in fear he “hadn't had anything to eat in a long time.” Police then arrested Jackson, who has a long criminal history, after finding a warrant was out for his arrest for an unrelated matter.

A transcript of Jackson’s 911 call asking for a cheeseburger was released by News 8, which documented multiple calls from Jackson, who was hard to understand at times.

“Dispatcher: Do you have an emergency sir, because you dialed 911. 
Gregory: I dialed 911. 
Dispatcher: Yeah you dialed 911. 

Dispatcher: I don't, I am not understanding a word your saying sir. 
Gregory: (unintelligible) 
Dispatcher: OK, what did you need? 

Dispatcher: OK, so why did you call 911 for, what do you need.  
Dispatcher: Do you have an emergency? 
Gregory: A cheeseburger. 
Dispatcher: Have a good day.”

[END CALL]

“Dispatcher:  911, Your emergency. 
Greg: Yes, I just spoke with you. You hung up on me. 
Dispatcher: Well I asked if you had an emergency. You said no, you needed a cheeseburger. So we don't take cheeseburger orders.”

[END CALL]

“Dispatcher: You know if you give me some information maybe we can try and help you out.”

Police ended up going to Jackson’s home and discovering he was wanted on a warrant for failing to appear in court two days before the 911 call for a cheeseburger. He was not arrested for charges related to the 911 call.

Jackson has previously been arrested and served jail time for theft, dealing a controlled substance and criminal recklessness.

He is being held at Henry County Jail and will appear in court Wednesday.
