\n

A Florida sheriff<\/a> called an altercation involving a worker and two customers at a McDonald\u2019s in Polk County last weekend a “McMess” after it left one of the men with a minor gun wound to the neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd explained in a video posted to social media that a McDonald\u2019s<\/a> in the area had become inundated with online orders after several events in the area let out early Sunday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Judd said that the worker, Yoan Soto, 21, “politely” told Nicholas Jones, 18, and Peter Story, 20, who had pulled into the drive-thru, “\u2018Hey, sorry guys, we\u2019re way behind, our online orders are overwhelming us.\u2019”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said after Soto told the two men that the store couldn\u2019t take their order, they allegedly started threatening him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“\u2019We\u2019re going to hang out here,\u2019” they allegedly said. “\u2018When you get off, we are going to beat you up.\u2019 They threatened to attack the man who just told them, \u2018We\u2019re busy, we can\u2019t take any more orders,\u2019 and he did that because the manager told him to. They threatened him with violence.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Soto told the men that he didn\u2019t get off work until 4 a.m., and he went back to work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What do these goober smoochers do?” Judd continued, adding that Jones and Story then parked and entered the restaurant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“And they continue to threaten,” he said. “They\u2019re having a McArgument in the McDonald\u2019s over McHamburgers or lack of McHamburgers.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said either Story or Jones allegedly said they had a “switch,” a “30-clip” and Soto replied that he also had a gun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said that the manager stepped in between the three men to stop the “McRabble.”<\/p>\n

“So, they continue to threaten a mass shooting, cause there\u2019s customers there, with their firearms,” Judd said, adding that Soto went to get his gun and threatened Jones and Story with it in the main part of the store.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The manager of the McDonald\u2019s told Story and Jones to leave because they\u2019re trespassing, but Jones claimed that only law enforcement can declare he\u2019s trespassing, which Judd clarified isn\u2019t the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the two men tried to grab Soto\u2019s gun, he pulled the trigger and shot Story in the neck, Judd said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a blessing that it was a very minor wound, but you know what? When you start shooting McGuns, you\u2019ll get people\u2019s attention and they\u2019ll let you McHave the restaurant and that\u2019s what they did,” Judd said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jones then drove Story to the hospital and called the police.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Soto fled the scene, but was called back to the restaurant when deputies arrived, he explained, adding that Soto cooperated and has been charged with felony tampering with evidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Story and Jones were charged with trespass after warning and disorderly conduct.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Listen folks, it\u2019s never OK to threaten a mass shooting. It\u2019s never OK to threaten to beat people up at a business. And it\u2019s never OK to grab your ammunition and your firearm and run after a shooting,” Judd said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that Soto did have a right to stand his ground and protect himself, “and these guys are threatening to do violence after they\u2019ve already threatened on the outside of the store and came inside.”<\/p>\n

“They created a well-founded fear in him and the store manager,” he said. “It was just a McMess. But we\u2019ll sort it out, because we\u2019re McGood at investigating McCrime.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
