A North Dakota man is facing a felony after allegedly asking a customer at McDonald’s to purchase food for him and reportedly pulling out a gun when he was denied.

Just after noon on September 30, a man walking to a McDonald’s in Bismark was approached by a stranger who asked him to buy him a burger and a Happy Meal. The customer declined, told the man to “get a job,” and continued his journey to eat lunch at the Golden Arches.

While standing in line in the crowd of youngsters and adults, the man was waiting to order his meal when he was reportedly approached again by the person who previously asked him to buy the food for them. He allegedly pulled out a 9mm handgun and pointed it in the man’s direction. According to reports, the man holding the gun said he felt disrespected when he was told to get a job. He reportedly put the gun in the waistband of his pants while cursing at the man, and then left the establishment.

A man from Wyoming who was making his way to California allegedly hijacked a car, called 911 several times for a tow truck, and got naked on the interstate to prove he was unarmed when police arrived.

On the morning of August 23, 911 received a slew of calls from someone who wanted the assistance of a tow truck because his tires were punctured. The caller was informed he was not to use 911 for that reason since it is not considered an emergency. The police went to the caller’s location to check on them, and they said the tires on the vehicle were fine.

Right after the police left, the man allegedly called 911 again, and officers returned. They reported that they saw the man in the middle of the street trying to get vehicles to stop for him. When one of the drivers stopped their car, he entered it, and reportedly told the driver to go to the nearest police department.
