Oregon Police Remind Residents: Don't Call 911 If You Run Out Of Toilet Paper

Market shelves have been emptying of toilet paper as consumers seek to stock up for social distancing. But police in Newport, Ore., reminded residents that running out of toilet paper is not, in fact, an emergency worthy of dialing 911.

“It’s hard to believe that we even have to post this,” said police in Newport, Ore. They offered a reminder for residents hunkering down due to the coronavirus: “We cannot bring you toilet paper.”
