A teenager faces a felony charge of robbery – A FELONY! – after he was arrested for filling his water cup with soda at an Arkansas McDonald’s.
Cody Morris, 18, was arrested Monday after the incident at the McDonald’s in Springdale, reports KHBS:
The manager for the McDonald’s at 520 S. Thompson St. called police Monday to report a robbery, according to the report. The manager told police 3 people went through the drive thru and asked for 3 large waters. Those 3 parked, went into the restaurant, dumped out the water and then filled the cups with soda, the manager told police.
And this was, of course, the first time anyone had done such a thing.
The manager asked the 3 people to return the soda. Two of them did, but one did not, the manager told police.
Then, the manager stood behind the suspect’s car and tried to stop them from leaving, according to the report, but the car reversed and hit the manager. The manager tried to get the keys out of the ignition and was hit on the hand and then by the vehicle again, the manager told police.
Well, that escalated quickly…and unnecessarily.
Cops found the car at a nearby bowling alley – where they arrested Morris.
His hearing for felony robbery – A FELONY – is this Friday.
