COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Body camera video showing deputies helping the Cobb County sheriff with a faulty fast food order started grabbing the attention of voters on Friday.
“The video definitely tuned me in,” said Sophia Farook.
Channel 2 Action News obtained three body camera videos from the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office.
Each one shows a deputy responding to the Burger King on Veterans Memorial Highway in Mableton on March 4, 2023.
In the videos, the deputies approach Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens, Sr. in his truck parked in the parking lot.
He tells one of them, “Hey, do me a favor. I need to get, all I need is the owner name of whoever owns this damn facility or the manager.”
“I wanted her [passenger] a Whopper, no mayo, cut in half, right?” Owens said.
The deputies listen as he said, “I don’t need no damn money back no more. I just need to find out who owns this place so I can do an official complaint.”
They do not ask why the sheriff was unable to get the information himself.
They approach the restaurant doors.
The employees had locked themselves inside.
They open the doors for the three deputies.

I remember a sign outside the supply sergeant’s office at the old Detroit Artillery Armory:
“This isn’t Burger King. You don’t get it your way. You get it our way or you don’t get the sonofab——.”
More info needed. Who was the woman in the truck with him?
And, by the way, the obligatory “no photo needed” comment.
That county went from being a textbook example of Conservative social and fiscal governance, operated in the proverbial “black” - great schools - low crime - low taxes, to this.
Always voted Republican. Now a reliable Dem county.
Night time, lady in the car, arguing that Burger King screwed up the order...
Breathalizer, please.
What is going on with this guy? Call the Burger King Customer Complain hotline.
I’ve done it for a KFC guy who argued and didn’t give back the right amount of money.
And this is wrong because? Absolutely bring in the Police if they mess up the order—and IF they really screw it up—the SWAT team needs to get involved—100% justified, that’s how I see it 😜🙃😘
Get the governor to call out the National Guard too!
Cobb used to be a very nice suburban county but is experiencing significant White Flight, Whites are now a minority, and in 2020 Trump lost by almost 15 points (GOP had won every presidential election in Cobb from 1980-2012).
And no, it's not ALL "frodd, frodd, frodd, frodd, frodd!!!!" (our handy-dandy excuse for any outcome we don't like) -- it's demographics.
Welcome to GA. 😏
Did they evacuate him to Popeye’s?
National Guard gets involved only IF the ketchup or extra condiments were callously NOT put in the take out bag-—then we have serious problems-—
Is Veterans Memorial Highway in Mableton the old Bankhead Highway?
Do i need to look, yogi?
Nope.
It’s the same road (Highway 78), but it’s now named Veterans Memorial in Cobb County and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway in Fulton County.
What’s the point of being a government official if you can’t bully businesses and individuals to suit your desires?
Must be awesome to have your own personal goon squad to take care of bidness.
