NAPLES, Fla. — A Florida man is accused of pulling a gun on restaurant employees when his online order of chicken wings was nearly an hour late, authorities said.
Matthew James Davis, 35, of Naples, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to Collier County Sheriff’s Office online booking records.
The sheriff’s office said that Davis threatened employees at a Wingstop restaurant in Naples, WINK-TV reported.
According to an arrest affidavit, Davis placed an online order for chicken wings at 8:39 p.m. on Aug. 27, 2021. The store promised that his order would be ready at 8:58 p.m., but when he arrived at 9:40 p.m. the food was not ready.
The sheriff’s office said that Davis was angry and began pacing in the waiting area. He was not mollified when an employee offered him a free drink while he waited, WBBH-TV reported.
According to the affidavit, Davis reportedly told employees that he was “going to get my strap (gun).”
“They going to see that I’m not playing,” Davis allegedly said.
At that point, Davis left the restaurant and retrieved a gun from his white van.
Employees and witnesses later told authorities that they feared for their lives, according to the affidavit.

After a preliminary investigation, Davis met with sheriff’s detectives on Wednesday. According to the arrest affidavit, Davis told detectives that his outburst occurred several weeks after his mother’s death and that he was “stressed out.” He added that the gun was not loaded and that he merely intended to “intimidate” the restaurant employees.
Davis was arrested and booked into the Collier County Jail. He posted bail on Friday and will appear in court on Feb. 20, online court records show.

8:39 p.m. is a bit early to be hammered drunk.
Is this one of those CCW holders dems are so worried about?
“8:39 p.m. is a bit early to be hammered drunk.”
I had no problem back in the day.
;)
I only pull out my hardware if they sneak anchovies on my all meat pizza.
So far, the surveillance cameras haven’t recognized my face/sarc
That good old boy looks like he could do with fewer wings orders
An over-reaction, to be sure, but an hour to fix an order of wings?
That is a whole lot of face.
Wings Recipe
Step One: Catch chicken
….
He gets a pass,,,its chicken wangs.
Hank Hill’s boy all grown up
That’s a good reason to pull a gun./
He doesn’t have a “leg” to stand on.
The chicken wings should have been served on time.......
Yep. That’s Florida Man.
If he has a CCW, pull it immediately! He’s giving the rest of a bad name.
Fast Food no longer is, on average.
I’ve largely given up on it.
The Plandemic hasn’t helped.

So, it was promised at 9 p.m., but he didn’t show up to get it until 9:40 p.m.?
If he was 40 minutes late to pick it up, maybe they figured he wasn’t going to and maybe served it to somebody else?
