Not since a California woman called 911 to complain that Burger King messed up the Western BBQ Burger she ordered her hungry, post-Tae Kwon Do class kids, has such an amusing fast food-related police action hit the Web.

CNN (with the help of WTLV) is reporting that a Jacksonville, Fla. man named Reginald Peterson was arrested after calling the police to complain that a Subway Sandwich maker failed to put mayonnaise and mustard on his Spicy Italian sub.

Sure, it's a sign of a slow news day that CNN is featuring this story prominently on its homepage, but the fact that the network is selling an Onion-esque T-shirt with the headline Man calls 911 to report bad sandwich is a pretty good idea.

Update, 5:30PM: The Smoking Gun (of course) has the mugshot and the 911 audio.
