He’s not accused of being on drugs, but a man named Edward Cocaine did allegedly brandish a knife at employees following a dispute at a Florida Subway restaurant.

Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey posted about the April 5 incident on Facebook.

“Clearly this guy, Edward Cocaine, (and yes that’s his real name) doesn’t know that in Brevard County, if you Mess Around you’re gonna Find Out…the hard way!!” Ivey wrote.

Cocaine, 45, and a friend visited the Subway on Merritt Island and felt he was being treated rudely by the employees, according to a probable cause arrest affidavit. The friend wanted to leave, but Cocaine allegedly wanted to confront the perceived disrespect.

The defendant allegedly entered the employee area behind the counter, pushed past one employee and raised a knife as if he were about to stab someone, the complaint said.

“Yes folks, you read that correctly, he pulled out a knife and gestured as if he was going to injure them all because he didn’t like the way they spoke to him and his friend!!,” Ivey quipped.

Cocaine’s friend restrained him and the two left the restaurant, per cops. Using surveillance video, cops identified Cocaine’s friend’s truck. Deputies went to go speak to the friend who identified Cocaine as the perpetrator.
