A dispute over a refund at a south St. Louis Jack in the Box escalated into a police matter after officers say a customer called 911 a total of 29 times. Authorities report that 36-year-old Shawn Nolan began calling emergency dispatch around 11 p.m. Sunday and continued until about 3:30 a.m. Monday following the denied refund. Officers later located him, and he is being held without bond.
The dispute unfolded at the Jack in the Box at 4201 South Kingshighway Boulevard, where staff told Nolan he would need to come back during regular business hours with his receipt if he wanted a refund, according to police. Investigators say that instead, Nolan repeatedly called 911. When officers arrived, they found him sitting in a parked vehicle outside the restaurant and recovered a gun from a backpack in the back seat.
Police say Nolan is a convicted felon. He has been charged with misusing 911 services and unlawful possession of a firearm and is scheduled for an initial hearing on Tuesday, according to Fox2.
