A North Dakota man pulled a gun on a fellow McDonald’s customer who refused to buy him a Happy Meal and told him to “get a job,” cops said.
George Demarrias, 33, approached the customer as he was walking into the McDonald’s on Sept. 30 and asked to buy him “a Big Mac and a Happy Meal,” according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Smoking Gun.
The paying customer, 43-year-old Trent Guthmiller, responded by telling Demarrias “to go get a job” and proceeded to get in line and order his own food.
An outraged Demarrias followed Guthmiller into the restaurant before pulling a gun out of his waistband and pointing it at Guthmiller in front of witnesses, including children, according to the affidavit.
He told Guthmiller what he said was “disrespectful.”
“Demarrias proceeds to call Guthmiller a son of a b—h and tells him to f–k off before stowing the firearm back in his waistband and leaving the restaurant,” Bismarck police wrote in the document.
Police responded to the “terrorizing incident” and found a 9 mm. handgun stashed inside a stroller where his 1-year-old daughter was sitting.
Officers found Demarrias nearby and had to point their gun in the direction of him and his young daughter while apprehending him, police noted.
Security footage corroborated Guthmiller’s recounting of what had happened.
Demarrias was charged with terrorizing with a dangerous weapon, which is a felony, according to The Smoking Gun. He is locked up in the Burleigh County jail on a $10,000 cash bond and has been ordered by a judge to have no contact with Guthmiller.
Elouise Flyingby, Demarrias’ 27-year-old female companion, was also arrested outside the McDonald’s and charged with giving cops a fake name. She pleaded guilty Monday to the misdemeanor count and was sentenced to 10 days in jail, the outlet reported.
