When the transmitter answered Iziah Hall's call early on Sunday morning, the local station reported WZZM- TV, he explained his emergency.
"Can you bring me McDonald's?" he asked.
Dispatcher Sara Kuberski said she could not but contacted police officer Dan Patterson.
"I laugh at myself … 5-year-old calls shipping and orders McDonald's," Patterson told WZZM.
The officer drove to Iziah's home in Wyoming for a welfare check, and decided to stop at a McDonald's along the way to order food for the boy. Emergency aid: Boy with autism calling 911 for teddy bear & # 39; rescue & # 39;

No one answered when Patterson knocked on the door so he knocked on a window and found Iziah.
"I think the first thing he said to me was," My grandmother gets so angry, can you go away? "Patterson told WZZM.
Patterson was waiting for Iziah's grandmother, who fell asleep when the boy called, the door answered. The officer then taught the boy when calls to 911 were to be made.
Iziah could contact 911 by connecting the disabled mobile phone to the internet , the station reported a lot to his grandmother's surprise.
"We get many people who let their kids play on their cell phones, and many of them are disabled and their parents don't realize they can still call 911," Kuberski told WZZM.
