OUTSIDE MILWAUKEE, WI -- Contrary to the company’s slogan, a local woman wasn’t “lovin’ it” when ran out of chicken McNuggets Sunday morning.
Andrea R. Hill, 22, was charged in on Monday with one count of disorderly conduct and one count of resisting an officer after she was accused of chucking her French fries at the drive-thru window in Waukesha, and began to hit the window when an employee told her they were out of McNuggets. If convicted, she faces up to one year in jail and $11,000 in fines.
According to the criminal complaint:
At 3:39 a.m. Sunday, Hill went through the drive-thru at McDonald’s with her cousin and ordered several food items, including chicken McNuggets. After getting the food, Hill realized the McNuggets were not with the order, so she went through the drive-thru again.
When she got to the window an employee told her they were out of the nuggets, but swiped her debit card so she could get free food for the inconvenience. However, Hill became belligerent with the employee, threw fries at the drive-thru window, got out of her car and began to shake and hit the window.
When Waukesha police officers arrived at the scene, Hill’s cousin confirmed what had happened and Hill was placed under arrest. She resisted officers and had to be decentralized and placed in a restraint chair before being taken to Waukesha County Jail.
Hill told officers she had several drinks earlier in the evening before going to the restaurant.
She’s currently free on a $1,000 signature bond while awaiting trial.
Think Zimmerman clouded her ahhhhh, mind? Checks supporting Obama is signed on Back while Mitts are signed on the Front. OMG!
This lady has no excuse for what she did. She should get the 1 year sentence and the fine for the $1,000. There is no way her actions are the fault of McDonalds at all. If anything she should have to work there for free at the drive thru handing out food during her work release, just to make up for what she did to that worker....
At a certain point of resistance, when it's clear a suspect is not going to cooperate and continues to threaten violence, police are allowed to escalate. (Remember, a suspect is just a suspect, innocent until proven guilty.) When such a suspect resists to the point that the officer or officers believe they or the public at large are endangered, or that the suspect is a danger to him or herself, or might escape, they "decentralize." That is, they use necessary force to put the suspect on the ground, on his or her face, and in handcuffs behind their back. That's "decentralization." Now, if there is enough resistance, the officer may even feel it necessary to deliver a blow with hand or knee as well. The officer must justify in his or her report why such a blow was deemed necessary.
