Jerry Henry fetches gun from trunk after driver gets angry about no ice cream
A Delray Beach man wasn't happy that a nearby McDonald's didn't have any ice cream, so he pulled out a replica AR-15 rifle while he waited in the drive-thru line, police said.
Jerry Henry was arrested Monday after the incident at the McDonald's on Linton Boulevard.

According to a probable cause affidavit, the driver, identified as Michael Delhomme, was upset because the ice cream machine wasn't working.
The employee told police that he watched from the store's surveillance video as Henry got out of the front passenger seat and went into the trunk to remove what appeared to be a rifle. The employee told his co-workers, and they went into the bathroom to hide and call 911.
Police said surveillance video confirmed employees' accounts of what happened.
According to the report, Henry admitted that Delhomme asked him to get the "stick" from the trunk after the dispute about the ice cream. Henry said he put the gun between his legs in the front seat.
Henry was arrested on a charge of improper exhibition of a firearm.
“arrested on a charge of improper exhibition of a firearm”
Hate to say it but this charge might not stick.
So the ice cream machine was broken, what was brandishing a fire arm (real or fake) supposed to do, make ‘em poop out ice cream. They didn’t have any. Geez
It’s happening everywhere too.
I blame the spiritual condition of the people.
Folks are really losing it out there.

I don’t see why not.
Intimidation.
Like the one poster said...he should have pointed it at a cop and see what may happen.
Case in VA not all that long ago where someone cut someone off and the guy that got cut off pulled up alongside the dude and SHOWED his weapon..Didn’t point it, just showed him.
Judge may have thrown it out but it sure did ruin that guys day as he got arrested for ‘intimidating’
The key is it was a fake weapon. The right lawyer will try to exploit that.

How much different than when one goes into a gas station and uses a ‘toy’ pistol or replica and gets away?
Still charged with ARMED robbery and gets real interesting if the dude gets himself shot with a REAL weapon while attempting heist/whatever with a fake one.
Thanks.
I couldn’t ‘think’ of the word brandishing so I went with intimidation
‘’almost the same’’ but a tad different in this ‘conversation’
though brandish is meant to intimidate. Or something like that...
Depends what the meaning of is is.....<: <: <:
The statue made him do it.
At least he has a normal name.
Poster child for a Darwin Award . . .

He wasn't all that fond of the statute either...
He said this hammer’ll be the death of me, O Lord,
This hammer’ll be the death of me.
What’s wrong with these people?
