6 Fast Food ‘Felons’ Totally Freaking Out Caught on Bodycam

Two customers, Dominique Azil and Jelina Stewart, became irate over a 50-cent charge for extra cheese at a Wendy's drive-thru in Toledo, Ohio. The situation escalated when they threw food, entered the restaurant, assaulted employees (including a pregnant woman), damaged property, and attempted to steal a phone. Azil was charged with vandalism and sentenced to 180 days in jail, while Stewart received a suspended year-long sentence and a year of probation for receiving stolen property.

Wendy's workers detailed the incident to officers, describing food being thrown, physical assaults, and property damage. Police identified the suspects and their vehicle via surveillance and license plate information. Court records confirm the charges and sentences.

Alexander Gonzalez Ruiz entered a McDonald's in Joliet, Illinois, claimed to be the owner, then proceeded to sit on boxes in the drive-thru area, dance, and sing. He later served a customer before stealing the cash register by jumping out the drive-thru window. Police apprehended him after a chase. He was charged with battery, criminal trespass, theft, and criminal damage to property, ultimately receiving community service.

McDonald's security cameras captured Ruiz's actions, and bodycam footage showed his arrest and the recovery of the stolen register. Police statements confirmed the charges and sentencing agreement.

Michael Anthony Reyes (also known as Miguel), a man in a wheelchair, reportedly pulled a gun inside a crowded Burger King in Miami, Florida, after a verbal altercation. Officers, who recognized him as a repeat offender with previous firearm-related incidents, found a gun in his pants during a search. Reyes faced five felony charges, including possession of a firearm by a felon, though prosecutors later declined to move forward with the charges.

Multiple officers' bodycams recorded the arrest and the discovery of the weapon. Officers' comments on bodycam indicated prior dealings with Reyes and his history of gun violence. Victim statements confirmed Reyes brandished the weapon.

At a McDonald's drive-thru in Lakeland, Florida, employee Chassity Gardner argued with customers over an incorrect order. After the customers threw items at the window, Gardner allegedly retrieved a gun, walked outside, and fired two warning shots in the direction of the departing vehicle. A bullet reportedly hit the car, but no one was injured. Gardner was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

Surveillance cameras captured the altercation, Gardner leaving the building, and a flash as she fired her weapon. A police report confirmed a bullet strike on the car. Gardner's statement to investigators admitted to firing warning shots.

Quave Young, at a McDonald's drive-thru in Coco, Florida, allegedly threatened employees with a gun after becoming irate over an off-menu order. She claimed her licensed firearm was in her car and that she did not threaten anyone, despite employee reports to the contrary. Young was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, open carrying of a firearm, and driving with a suspended license, receiving jail time and probation.

Police bodycam footage shows Young's arrest and her denial of threatening employees. Employee statements confirmed she pointed a gun and made threats. During booking, an officer explained that openly displaying a firearm in a vehicle is a misdemeanor, and her gun was found readily accessible.

Erica Taltos, a former reality TV personality, allegedly punched a customer in the face at an Arby's drive-thru in Sanford, Florida. Police found her highly intoxicated and uncooperative, repeatedly asking to call her brother, who she claimed was an attorney. She was charged with battery and entered an agreement for her case to be dropped if she participated in drug testing and a mental health program.

Police bodycam footage documented Taltos's erratic behavior, her repeated requests to call her brother, and her apparent intoxication (including urinating on herself). The victim declined medical attention but pressed charges. Court records confirmed the battery charge and the diversion program agreement.
