DUNEDIN, Florida Authorities say a Dunedin man has been arrested after robbing a fast-food restaurant through a drive-through window.
Jack St. Clair Burris, 33, faces charges of robbery with a weapon and aggravated assault. He was being held in Pinellas County jail on $55,000 bond.
According to a news release, Burris drove up to the McDonald's window on Friday night, asked for change, then threatened an employee with a broken beer bottle. He took money out of the restaurant's cash register as the employee backed away.
Burris was arrested Saturday morning and made a court appearance Sunday morning.

I’ve heard that the crime in Florida is becoming ridiculous.
Now he gets to eat his taxpayer paid ‘happy meals’ for free-—in jail!
Should have thrown some of that famous hot coffee in his face.

I worked at a Jack In The Box in Austin about a million years ago when I was going to school. Late one night, a drunk guy walked up to the drive through window, pulled out a large kitchen knife, and announced a robbery. The window was on a spring, so I let it close and locked it.
He started pounding on the glass and yelling, “You can’t do that!”
I was laughing so hard that a coworker had to reach around me to get the phone and call the police. The cops never caught the guy.
>>Should have thrown some of that famous hot coffee in his face.
in this day and age of pc-ness, the company would be liable for a lawsuit from the criminal.
I was thinking hot grease.
Would you like some fries with that?
That is what I was thinking.
Why not just close the window?
“. . . and the beer bottle you rode in on!” [SLAM!]
Good thing for him you didn’t pour hot oil on him like they did in Canada
