Unhappy meal: Woman charged in McDonald’s rampage
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A woman has been charged with trashing a McDonald’s restaurant in Missouri because she was unhappy with her cheeseburger. Police said they received many tips after releasing video of the Dec. 27 incident.
In the video, which has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times online, a customer is seen throwing a sign and a water dispenser over a counter and pushing three cash registers to the floor.
On Tuesday, the Jackson County prosecutor’s office charged 19-year-old Alesha McMullen of Kansas City with Class D felony property damage. It wasn’t immediately known if McMullen has an attorney. A phone listing for her could not be found.
Police say McMullen told officers her order was prepared wrong and the restaurant refused to give her a refund.
