A man threw a rock at a mom and her children after he became impatient waiting at a Burger King drive-thru in Oklahoma, police have said.
Officers in Edmond, north of Oklahoma City, said the man started yelling at the family as the woman was checking her order at the drive-thru on May 22.
Police spokesperson Emily Ward told local TV station KFOR: "He began yelling to go and move. She hollered back, 'I'm looking at my food and then I'll go.' But before that could even take place, he went around her up over the median and left."
The woman drove away, but noticed that the man had started to follow her.
As the woman began to drive away, she saw the man had blocked two lanes of traffic with his Toyota FJ Cruiser, according to KFOR.
Ward said: "As she was slowly going around him, she planned to take a photo." At this point, the man is said to have thrown a rock at the driver.
The rock shattered her windshield, with glass hitting the woman and her children, but there were no injuries.
Edmond Police Department later shared photos of the suspect and his vehicle on social media, asking members of the public to help identify him.(snip)
On May 24, the department posted a update on Facebook saying: "After numerous tips, we have ID'd the suspect.
The man's name has not been released and it is not yet known if he is in police custody.

Obviously throwing rocks between cars is not acceptable, but “the mother with children” was being rude and should have pulled up to check her order. For every rock throwing, there are thousands of selfish people wasting everyone’s time. No sympathy for the woman from me. Sounds like she has become very good at reacting to pissed off people.
Local coverage....
Still no report of an arrest.
Inconsideration is not illegal.
What the perp did is
You would make a lousy neighbor.
People are tired of waiting around to complete simple tasks, tired of their time being stolen every day by inconsiderate people at every interaction, and all while paying $5-$6 a gallon and being told you and your money are not important just “shut up and pay your taxes and be grateful it not worse, for now”.. We are a nation of impatient souls are thirsting for some sort of affirmative leadership. I just pray we don’t go too far in the wrong direction.
Being stuck behind individuals with no sense of the people around them is why I avoid drive thrus and fast food restaurants. The crappy food isn’t worth it. Jackass in front of me is counting their fries, moron behind me is honking their horn and the kid behind the counter is picking his zits and texting about pissing in the fryer.
You can’t control what other people do.
You can only control what you do.
Civilized people exercise self-control.
That’s leadership. From the ground up.
BtC, that goes for you, too.
I dunno. I’ve been behind some EXTREMELY slow ppl in line.
I kinda see his side.
You’ve been well trained.
Passivism always loses.
One more idiot to keep away from schools and public were going to need more happy farms.
