Steve Stephens' hunger for Chicken McNuggets eventually led to the end of a nearly three-day-long nationwide manhunt.
Stephens about 11 a.m. Tuesday ordered the 20-piece with French fries at a McDonald's drive-thru on Buffalo Road in Erie, Pennsylvania, store employees said.
An employee recognized Stephens, and employees tried to stall him by pretending his fries weren't ready while they called police, the store's manager said, confirming earlier reports.
Stephens drove off just as Pennsylvania state troopers arrived and led them on a chase for about two miles. Carl White Sr., who watched the chase unfold, said a cruiser rammed Stephens' now infamous white Ford Fusion in front of an abandoned school.
The impact popped at least one of Stephens' tires.
Police swarmed the car, and Stephens fatally shot himself.

Nice reward money for the employee.
.
So now we know what his last meal was.
I always thought that you could get killed eating McDonald’s food and now I have proof!
Risky.
He did not get his last meal? Serves the evil bastard right.
Well there it is - Chicken McNuggets will cause you to commit suicide.

Prentending? At McDonalds? Hell, they probably weren’t.
But seriously. Congrats to this heads up crewmember at McDonalds and the whole staff there for delaying this guy!
Gutsy move by the McDonald’s employees.
They earned their reward money, and then some!
Question is did he have time to eat?
...employees tried to stall him by pretending his fries weren’t ready while they called police...
Very brave but stupid given his recent history.
Hope the reward really makes a difference in their lives.
Awwwe man.
I would have to consider committing suicide if I was forced to eat McDonald’s “new” french fries, but .... to kill yourself for getting McNugget’s? A little severe.
I am so freaking glad he shot himself.
No officer has to be put through a trial in the press and by the race baiting industry.
Given what they pump into chicken, all the nitrites that form from all the sodium, the red meat entrees are actually healthier for you than the chicken.
Not thst it matters in this story... :)
Pretty heads up play by the employees. Good on them.
