McDonald’s Employee Shoots Man in the Neck After Complaints About Wait Time in the Drive-Thru: ‘It Was Just a McMess’

Authorities are calling a shooting at a Florida McDonald’s involving an employee and customers a complete “McMess.”

A video release from Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd on Friday, Oct. 17 claimed that the altercation began when 21-year-old Yoan Soto was working an overnight shift at a Davenport McDonald’s when two late-night customers became upset about their wait time in the drive-thru line.

The incident happened around 3 a.m. on Oct. 12.

Judd said the location can become “overwhelmed” with online orders at times, and the staff were “doing their best to keep up with these orders,” when Peter Story, 19, and Nicholas Jones, 18, reportedly arrived at the restaurant.

Soto apologized to the pair for being “way behind,” Judd said, even stating that McDonald’s “should think through” how their system works.

Despite his apology, the two allegedly began “threatening” Soto, telling the employee they would wait for his shift to end to physically harm him, according to the Polk County sheriff.

“They threatened to attack the man who just told them, ‘We’re busy, we can’t take anymore orders,’ and he did that because the [employee] told him to,” Judd said.

The sheriff said Soto didn’t back down, instead telling Story and Jones that his shift ended at 4 a.m.

Video surveillance shared by PCSO and obtained by Fox 13 showed Jones and Story’s altercation with Soto in the McDonald’s lobby after the two entered the property, as well as Soto pointing a firearm at them after they “continued to threaten” him with what the sheriff describes as a “switch” and a “30-clip.”

“Now, the 22-year-old [employee] steps between them trying to stop this kerfuffle from occurring because there’s a rattle afoot right now in McDonald’s, we can call it a ‘McRattle,’ and that’s not a sandwich,” the sheriff said.

In the video, Judd claims that Soto was acting in self-defense. “And as they try to grab his gun, [Soto] pulls the trigger, and he shoots Peter Story in the neck,” Judd said, alongside video surveillance that allegedly showed the two men struggling over control of the firearm.

“It’s a blessing that it was a very minor wound, but you know what? When you start shooting McGuns, you get people’s McAttention,” Judd said.

The sheriff said after Story and Jones allegedly fled the scene because of Story’s injury, Soto became “McScared,” picked up the shell casings and fled the scene as well.

Soto was charged with tampering with evidence, which is a felony. Jones and Story were charged with trespass after warning and disorderly conduct.

PEOPLE has reached out to McDonald’s and Polk County Sheriff’s Office for comment.

Judd warned against mass shootings and violence, and also advised anyone in situations similar to Soto’s not to “run after a shooting.”

“He has a right to stand his ground and protect himself, and these guys are threatening to do violence after they’ve already threatened on the outside of the store and came inside,” Judd said in his statement. “They created a well-found fear in him and the store [employee]. It was just a McMess, but we’ll sort it out because we are McGood at investigating McCrime.”

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Makes Insane Comparison In Court, Belittles Her People In One Fell Swoop

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson offered a stunning bit of judicial wisdom today: “Just trust me on this.”

The Supreme Court sat for oral argument this morning for Louisiana v. Callais, a redistricting case concerning the constitutionality of Louisiana’s congressional map.

A district court order mandated the creation of an additional majority-black district in Louisiana to avoid “vote dilution,” Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas notes. Plaintiffs challenging Louisiana allege “that the congressional map’s second majority-black district amounted to an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.”

Jackson proposed that these racially drawn district lines may not be unconstitutional, because black people are basically equivalent to the disabled.

“I guess, I’m thinking of it, of the fact that remedial action absent discriminatory intent is really not a new idea in the civil rights laws, and my kind of paradigmatic example of this is something like the [Americans with Disabilities Act],” Jackson began.

“Congress passed the [ADA] against the backdrop of a world that was generally not accessible to people with disabilities. And so it was discriminatory in effect, because these folks were not able to access these buildings. And it didn’t matter whether the person who built the building or owned the building intended for them to be exclusionary, that’s irrelevant. Congress said the facilities have to be made equally open to people with disabilities, if readily possible. I guess, I don’t understand why that’s not what’s happening here.”

Permit me to explain.

A person without legs is different in kind than a black person.

Mandating individual public access to buildings is different in kind than mandating racial minorities control entire districts.

“The idea in Section 2 is that we are responding to current day manifestations of past and present decisions that disadvantage minorities and make it so that they do not have equal access to the voting system. Right, they’re disabled,” Jackson argued.

Jackson embarrassed herself elsewhere in oral argument, getting snippy with Louisiana Solicitor General Ben Aguiñaga.

“Wait, so, can I just ask, why is that not a compelling state interest? To identify areas in which that problem is occurring,” Jackson questioned.

“Your honor, of course, as this court recognized in SSFA, states can remedy —”

Aguiñaga was likely referring to the Social Security Fairness Act, which increases social security benefits for some workers, including federal employees and teachers (in many states).

“No, I’m not talking about the remedy, I’m not talking about —” Jackson interrupted.

“So, if I’m right, that Section 2 is about identifying the problem, then requiring some remedy, I don’t understand why your answer to Justice [Elena] Kagan’s question about, ‘Is this a compelling state interest?’ is ‘No.’ The answer is obviously ‘yes,’ that you have an interest in remedying the effects of racial discrimination that we identify using this tool. Whether you go too far in your remedy is another issue, right.”

“Your honor, I think step zero in all of these cases … is the plaintiffs came in and said, ‘We want another majority black district.’”

“I thought they came in and said, ‘We’re not receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted.’”

“Which is the same way of saying we deserve a second —”

“No it’s not, because, that, again, just trust me on this, the second electoral or second district that one could offer for a problem that we’ve identified,” Jackson interrupted. Yet again.

The man could hardly get a word in edgewise and still made a more coherent case than Jackson.

Jackson continued: “In this case, the [lower] court said, ‘I see, I’m looking at the factors, I appreciate what you’re saying, you’ve proven that we have this problem,’ and so the next question is how do we go about remedying it.”

“And the problem, Justice Jackson, that the middle district identified was not intentional discrimination — ”

“Why do you need intentional discrimination to remedy the problem I’ve identified?”

“Because if you’re going to use race the way that the Robinson appellants want to use race, in drawing a second majority minority district, you got to have a compelling interest,” Aguiñaga told the justice.

“Thank you!” Jackson snapped, dismissing Aguiñaga.

There’s that even-keeled temperament we’ve come to expect from Justice Jackson.

REPORT: Austrian Doctor Charged For Allegedly Letting 12-Year-Old Daughter Help With Brain Surgery

An Austrian neurosurgeon reportedly pleaded not guilty after she was accused of letting her 12-year-old daughter drill into a patient’s skull during brain surgery.

The Jan. 13, 2024, incident at Graz Regional Hospital involved a 33-year-old man who needed emergency surgery for a traumatic brain injury, the Austrian outlet Kurier reported. The operation was conducted by a senior physician and another doctor. The neurosurgeon reportedly brought her daughter into the operating room during the procedure. A prosecutor said the mother, 58, and another surgeon have been charged with complicity in bodily harm due to allowing an untrained person to conduct medical treatment, according to WELT.

The surgeon allegedly handed her daughter the drill as the operation reached its close and allowed the child to make a hole for a probe, according to an indictment obtained by Kurier. Prosecutor Julia Steiner told the outlet the surgeon later boasted that her daughter had just had her first gynecological hysterectomy.

The case surfaced through anonymous complaints, according to the outlet. Steiner said that, while the operation was successful, the alleged act showed “an incredible lack of respect for the patient” and warned “the risk cannot be downplayed.”

Defense lawyer Bernhard Lehofer disputed the allegations, the Kurier reported. “The child did not drill,” he said, claiming the supervising doctor maintained full control of the instrument. He admitted that the alleged act was “not a good idea.”

The doctor’s lawyer, Michael Kropiunig, said his client was unaware of the girl’s age. “He allowed her to put her hand on his hand while he was operating the drill, but that’s not relevant to the criminal proceedings,” he claimed.

The surgeon claimed she stood in the back and “was distracted” during the critical moment. Her daughter refused to testify in court.

A prosecutor accused the neurosurgeon of trying to pressure her colleague into keeping the incident under wraps. I wanted to protect him,” she reportedly said.

Hospital neurosurgery head Stefan Wolfsberger said he learned about the incident through an anonymous letter, according to the outlet. “I couldn’t believe it,” he said.

Both doctors pleaded not guilty to bodily harm charges at Graz-East District Court. The court postponed the case until Dec. 10 to hear expert testimony, according to the Mirror.

Plus-Size Activist Who Demanded Free Seats On Planes Lies Low After Alleged Hospital Arrest Drama

Plus-size activist and influencer Jaelynn Chaney has reportedly been keeping a low profile on social media after a run-in with the law earlier this year.

The 29-year-old, known for her outspoken body positivity advocacy, was last active on TikTok with over 149k followers and on Instagram with 93k followers back in February 2025.

Now, after months of speculation, new details have surfaced revealing that Chaney was allegedly arrested following an altercation with police officers at a hospital.

Jaelynn Chaney last posted on her socials on February 23, hinting at troubles in her personal and health life

The activist from Tri-Cities, Washington, first rose to fame for her advocacy to make air travel more inclusive for plus-size people.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, she was allegedly booked by police authorities on February 28 for “causing a disturbance” and attacking her fiancé of six years, Jacob Ard, at the Trios Medical Hospital in Kennewick, Washington.

Jaelynn’s father, Jerome Chaney, told the outlet that the incident occurred after his daughter discovered Jacob’s infidelity at the medical institution.

The influencer allegedly caught her now-ex-fiancé with another man, which led to a domestic violence incident.

Hospital staff reportedly called the police to intervene, who arrived at the scene and arrested Chaney.

The 911 call was reportedly made by hospital staff after the plus-size influencer attacked her ex-fiancé over his alleged infidelity

According to the arresting officer, “[Jaelynn] was very unpleasant to deal with [and] threatened to ki** our families and was telling us to burn in hell.”

Authorities allegedly first issued a trespassing warning after the hospital informed them that she was not on the property for any health-related reason.

However, Jaelynn allegedly tore up the warning note in front of officers and said she was going to leave.

Her demeanor and behavior led officers to arrest her, but due to her size, she was allegedly unable to fit into the police car designated for transport.

An evidence van was then dispatched to take her into custody, but she was allegedly still unable to climb the steps into the vehicle.

According to court papers discovered by Daily Mail, the 29-year-old was taken to Benton County Jail in Kennewick using a foldable lift attached to the rear of the van.

Jaelynn advocated for more inclusivity in air travel for plus-size fliers, calling on airlines to provide free extra seats to accommodate them

She was reportedly charged with third-degree a**ault and resisting arrest after allegedly attacking her ex-fiancé and striking one of the arresting officers on the shoulder and arm.

At one point, she allegedly attempted to hit the officer in the face but missed.

While under arrest, according to court documents, the activist reportedly threw herself to the ground and began screaming that the “police were ki**ing and s**ually a**aulting her.”

“Ramos knows what he did. KPD hands up. Don’t f***ing shoot. I’m n**ed and they f***ing r**ed me. Trios Southridge was trying to save me. FBI is watching.”

The identity of the individual she referred to as Ramos remains unclear, as does whether she was referring to a police officer or someone else.

Officers also noted that they attempted to have Jaelynn placed under an involuntary hold but were unable to find a facility equipped to accommodate her.

The 29-year-old was also charged for striking an arresting police officer, whom she even tried to slap in the face

In March, Chaney’s public defender filed an order for a competency evaluation, claiming that she suffered from a “mental disease or defect” and “lacked the capacity to understand the proceedings against her or to assist in her own defense.”

She was then ordered to undergo inpatient treatment at Eastern State Hospital after being found “incompetent.”

After two months in the facility, hospital officials deemed her to be suffering from delirium due to sepsis, a personality disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Further in her defense, Jaelynn claimed that she had been under stress following her breakup with Jacob, calling him “ab**ive” and alleging that he “tried to ki** us both on a business trip.”

Chaney also claimed during her evaluation that she had witnessed “human trafficking, domestic violence, s**ual a**ault, witnessing crime, g**s, d**gs and violence.”

According to the evaluation report, doctors also noted that she was noncompliant with treatment, made unreasonable demands, and frequently used foul language while refusing to shower.
