HUDSON, N.H. -- An order of double cheeseburgers turned into an unhappy meal over the weekend at a Hudson McDonald's restaurant.
Hudson police said Thomas Lee Reagan, 45, complained about the quality of the two double cheeseburgers he ordered at about 8 p.m. Saturday at the McDonald's on Derry Road.
"Apparently Mr. Reagan was served a hamburger that was not up to his standards. After he complained to the manager regarding the quality of the food, (the restaurant) refunded his money and, apparently, he wasn't happy with that," said Sgt. Donna Briggs of the Hudson Police Department.
According to court records, Reagan complained about his food being greasy and was refunded $2.16 but Reagan began yelling obscenities, forcing several patrons with young children to leave.
"After initially confronting the store manager, (Reagan) went behind the counter apparently to engage the cook in some verbal confrontation," Briggs said.
When police arrived, they felt that Reagan was intoxicated and tried to get him to leave the McDonald's property, officials said.
"He became belligerent; threw his food on the ground," said Capt. Don Breault of the Hudson Police Department. "The officers wound up charging him with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, at which time, he got in a fight with the officers; threw a punch at one of the officers. They went to the ground, and a second officer at the scene actually used a Taser (gun) on (Reagan)."
Both police officers suffered minor injuries. Reagan had a cut on his head that needed nine stitches to close.
Reagan was charged with criminal trespassing and three counts of simple assault. He was released on $1,000 personal recognizance bail.
My daughter works for Big Hamburger capitalist entity McDonalds. I'll have to check with her on this Fire In the Hole thingy. To be honest, I've never heard of such behavior but it doesn't surprise me
I love that movie.
I like the fact that the article uses the term "cook" for a McDonald's employee.
If he's an 'Old-Timer' like me, he remembers when they were 15 cents.
For $2.16, I'm sure he DID expect a gourmet burger...
