A Florida teen was arrested after he threatened to shoot up a Polk County McDonald’s over a botched order.
Dayton Schaffer, 18, told police when he was arrested that his three separate calls threatening to “shoot this s*** up” last week were just a joke.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd used every McDonald’s pun in the book announcing the arrest.
“This individual behaved irrationally,” Judd stated. “Therefore, this person didn’t receive his chicken nuggets from McDonald’s. On three separate occasions, he threatened to attack the establishment, using all sorts of inappropriate language… So he used his phone to issue a threat to McDonald’s.”
Employees contacted law enforcement around 1 a.m. on Wednesday. Due to the severity of the situation, they locked the restaurant until officials confirmed it was safe, reported Law&Crime.
As detailed in an affidavit, authorities traced the threatening calls back to Schaffer. Upon visiting his residence, his mother verified that the phone number belonged to her son. Consequently, they located Schaffer at a friend’s house.
Schaffer admitted making the calls because the fast food restaurant didn’t put Chicken McNuggets in his $5 meal.
He was charged with false report concerning use of a firearm against persons and misues of a 2-way communication device, according to WTVT.
Judd said that the manager told Schaffer when he called he’d give him the nuggets if he returned, but Schaffer responded with more vulgarities and threats.
“His rant went on and his rant went on and his rant went on,” said Judd.
Schaffer is being held without bond with an August 5 court date.
