Two people have been arrested in Texas on suspicion of pulling a gun on a manager of a McDonald's restaurant during a dispute about salt on their fries.
Davion Guillory, 23, and Treykia Cohen, 25, have been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, following an incident which occurred at the McDonald's restaurant located in the 128 block of E. Richey Road in Harris County on July 4.
The Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office said in a statement that deputies were flagged down at the McDonald's in order to respond to reports of an aggravated assault.
An investigation found that Guillory and Cohen entered into an argument with the manager at the restaurant over salt on their fries.
Surveillance footage showed that the pair also displayed firearms at the drive-thru towards the manager during the verbal altercation.
The pair then drove off, but deputies were able to locate the car and detain them. A firearm was also found inside the vehicle.
Constable Mark Herman said that further investigations revealed that Cohen was already out on probation for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon at the time of the incident.

Well done! Way too many “funky name, must be black” confirmation bias comments on FR over the last few months.
Post 25. . .are they not the perps?
“I like to add meat and potatoes to my salt.”
I hear ya. The wife often asks me if I’d like any steak with my salt. =D
LOL - talk about yer confirmation bias! I’ve been concerned about veiled (and not-so) comments on FR, saw one that agreed with what I thought and assumed without reading the article that the poster was correct. Mea culpa! And thanks for the correction.
I also understand it. Since McDonald’s stopped salting the fries when the grease is still hot they are inedible. Even adding salt later just doesn’t do it.
Salt is a gift of nature. Of course, so is sugar and bacon. Had there been crispy bacon in the Garden of Eden childbirth might be pain free.
If everyone ate crispy bacon regularly, global warming would stop.

And -- most likely in the city of Pasadena... BUT:
Surprise! The perps match their given names:

The geography is totally irrelevant. The correlation is cultural...
Probably wanted the salt so badly because they think it would counteract all the spit...
“Pasadena Where The Air Is Greener”
(bypassing the obvious “assault” puns that have surely already dominated this thread)
here just for the comments
For what it’s worth, eating too much salt (short of gulping it down) has been DEBUNKED as a health concern. There is a much higher risk of having too little salt.
both men???
no they are not.
Davion and Treykia? No need to read further.
What’s your point?
I believe one is of the female persuasion.
Maybe having a weird first name is the cause of all this restaurant violence.
good grief. there’s nothing pretty there.
