ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. - An Altamonte Springs woman was arrested and booked into jail on several charges after she allegedly loaded a handgun and began to wave it at a McDonald's drive-thru in Florida because she did not receive a free cookie she believed she was owed, according to the arrest affidavit.
Amari Bente Hendricks, 24, was booked into the Seminole County Jail on Feb. 16 on several charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, improper exhibit of a firearm, battery causing bodily harm, and resisting an officer, the report said.
The McDonald's employee told an officer with the Altamonte Springs Police Department that the woman was mad that no one asked if she was using the fast-food restaurant's rewards program and because of that, she thought she was entitled to a free cookie, according to the arrest affidavit.
When the employee got to the window, Hendricks was allegedly yelling and acting irate. The woman was eventually given a free cookie, and continued to argue with the employee, the report said.
The worker told officers that Hendricks then grabbed a black handgun, inserted a magazine, and proceeded to rack the slide. The woman said she heard two click sounds "associated with someone chambering a round," according to the report.
Hendricks them parked her car in front of the McDonald's and allegedly attempted to open the front door. Employees had locked the door because they feared for their lives, the report said. Police said Hendricks forced herself inside the restaurant and struck one of the employees multiple times and forced him out of the building.
Police said that employee had multiple scratches to his face and neck. Hendricks was also charged with resisting arrest after she allegedly refused to listen to officers' verbal commands.

I’ve seen so many photos of those who are a certain color who look like there’s no brain in there.
On the other hand I know many who are perfectly good & successful people.
If I were black I’d hate to be stereotyped with the low life blacks. You’d think they would lead the fight to fix the violence & stupidity.
I saw a young lady at Costco one day, and she was open carrying a pistol with pink grips on it. No-one seemed to notice, as her outfit featured the same colors, so it was camouflaged. I am certain that Costco wouldn't have approved, but none of the employees picked up on it.
Black History Month?
This person doesn’t seem to be a woman to me. It is one of the trans people?
She took the Obama’s “Get in their faces!” to heart.
Looks like the drugs are wearing off.
Stupid headline - you’re right!
“”What does the color of the gun have to do with anything?””
I guess to contrast it with the red hair! I saw “ONE” on TV or the internet the other day that had RED HAIR in BRAIDS!!!
Long ones....wig? Don’t know.
Might want to stock some cookies in that cabin - just in case!
“”She took the Obama’s “Get in their faces!” to heart.””
Wasn’t that Maxine who said that or did obozo say it also? Figures!
I want to know if the employees locked the door, how IT got inside. It really does look more like a man as someone else said.
Holy Toledo - I wish you had warned me!
OK, that wouldn’t happen at a Subway; their cookies are way better.
Are we beginning to see the light, er, dark?
A scene right out of Falling Down.
Such natural hair.
The high cost of hurt feelings.
“No cookie for you, lady!”
