A deranged McDonald’s customer choked, slugged, pistol-whipped and shot off the pinky of another patron — all because he didn’t get sauce with his order, according to police.
Wesley Bullock, 48, was hit with aggravated battery and burglary after the wild fast-food feud in Zephyrhills, Florida — about 30 miles north of Tampa — last week, Fox affiliate WRBW-TV reported.
Bullock was so ticked off he didn’t get his sauce that he allegedly walked up to the drive-up window at the restaurant and began screaming at an employee on Tuesday — when the victim intervened and tried to calm him down, according to the outlet.
That’s when cops said he went off on the man, grabbing him by the throat, slugging him and getting into a brawl until McDonald’s staffers were able to break up the scuffle.
But Bullock then followed the victim to a nearby Speedway gas station, where he cut off his car, got out and pointed a silver handgun at the man — only to have the weapon misfire.
Undeterred, Bullock then allegedly pistol-whipped the victim and re-cocked the gun, with the two men getting into a life-and-death fight over the gun, the outlet reported.
“[The victim] stated it was at that time he grabbed the pistol and fought Bullock for control over it because he was in fear of his life,” according to an affidavit reviewed by WRBW. “[He] stated he believed he was going to die.”
Bullock allegedly got off one shot, which struck the victim’s pinky.
The wounded victim managed to get the gun away from his attacker, threw it in his car and called the cops.
Bullock was busted after surveillance camera footage confirmed the victim’s wild account. He was ordered held at the Pasco County Jail on a $400,000 bond.

Yep.

Life sentence after the fair trial.
I don't much like victim-blaming, but the guy really should have known better.
It’s them again, Yogi.
Preferably without parole.
New euphemism dropped.
Deranged, or just another day in tha hood?
These fast food punch-ups always seem to be over sauce
People need sauce!
The Federal Government needs to get involved to increase sauce supply to disadvantaged and marginalized people.

Something about Mickey D’s drives African descendants stark raving mad.
Was that politically incorrect?
Florida Man.
Excerpted story is the actor had already received his order and possibly had driven from the drive through window.
That would have placed the victim as next in line to the pickup window and thus in the middle of the mess with the actor & employee.
Sauce is for closers.
Florida+fast food+sauce. Definite NO-GO.
I’d bet that no matter what the victim did, the maniac would have gone berserk. Retort, walk away, try to calm him down...anything would have set him off.
It says the victim intervened, not that he just haplessly got drawn into the conflict. Intervened means that he involved himself.
Very possibly, but he did involve himself.
