Cops said an irate man crawled out of his car and into the drive-thru window to get his hands on a Filet-O-Fish sandwich. Sgt James Ryan said the customer yelled at the employee and pushed him up against the counter, before attacking him. "After he slaps him, he takes his food then said: "I'll be waiting for you when you get off work." The Filet-O-Fish is a fried fish patty topped with cheese and tartar sauce on a hamburger bun. Cops, describe the attacker as an Afro-American in his 20s, about 5-foot-7, with dreadlocks. wearing jeans, a black sweatshirt and a baseball cap.

East turned himself in, charged with simple assault and making terroristic threats, a 3rd-degree indictable offense w/ a sentence of up 5 years in prison. East served 30 months in state prison from 1996-98 for a drug conviction, according to the state Dept of Corrections.

East felt intense pressure to surrender because of the massive media attention. East's family, and his children, saw him on the news and encouraged him to give up.

I’m glad Rashon was presuaded to do the right thing. Maybe they’ll reward him with Filet-o-Fish sandwiches in prison for the next 20 years as his reward.

Thanks for the update, Liz.

That’s just wack. On the other hand, five years in prison for slapping someone without any really serious injury is also wack. I guess it’s fair to say he “entered”, but did not “break and enter.”

Socially, this country has already gone to hell in a handbasket. So, how’s that self-esteem movement in the schools doing for ya, NEA? Is this the end product you envisioned?
