A five-year-old boy called 911 seeking a McDonald’s meal for his sister surprising an officer at the emergency dispatch in Arizona. According to the call, the 5-year-old boy, Charlie enquired if he had called McDonald’s. When Charlie was asked about his nature of the emergency, the boy casually asked for "one Mc-Happy meal" and disconnected the call. In a follow-up call, officer Anthony Bonilla talked to Charlie's father telling him that an officer would be stopping by for a welfare check-up. Officer Randolph Scott Valdez stopped by the house to make sure there was no emergency, and also brought an Mc Happy Meal from the restaurant with him, according to the Mesa Police Department's Facebook post.
