Florida Sheriff Grady Judd described an altercation at a McDonald's restaurant as a 'McMess' after one of the customers suffered a minor gunshot wound to the neck. The incident occurred last weekend when two men, Nicholas Jones and Peter Story, entered the drive-thru line despite online orders being overwhelming. When told by the worker Yoan Soto that they couldn't take their order due to the high volume of online orders, the two men started threatening him.
According to Judd, Soto appeared on surveillance footage pointing his gun at Jones and Story after he was told not to enter the restaurant. The men allegedly said they would "hang out here" until their shift ended and then attack Soto when he returned to work. They claimed to have a switch or 30-clip, which led to an escalating situation.
The manager intervened and told both men to leave due to trespassing charges being unfounded according to Judd's clarification. However, Jones had argued that only law enforcement could declare him trespassing, which did not apply in this case.
When deputies arrived at the scene, Soto was called back inside with his gun drawn, leading Jones to drive Story to a hospital and call the police. Soto later cooperated with authorities and has been charged with felony tampering with evidence.
Jones and Story have also been charged with trespass after warning and disorderly conduct. Sheriff Judd expressed his frustration with their actions, stating that threatening a mass shooting was never acceptable and emphasizing the need for self-defense rights to be respected but not used as an excuse for violence.
Judd described the situation as a "McMess" but vowed to investigate and bring those responsible to justice, noting that it would have been different if the situation had escalated further.

this whole thing is wild right? like, these two dudes just walk into McDonald's without an order, threaten the worker, and then point guns at each other... meanwhile Yoan Soto has a gun too 
I'm trying to think about what's more concerning here - the fact that they were both armed or the fact that one of them had a minor gunshot wound from being told not to pull out his gun 
. it's like, can we just take a step back and consider why these people felt the need to escalate things so quickly? is it desperation? entitlement? something deeper? 
so like these two dudes just waltz into mcdonald's cause they couldn't order online and start threatening the worker lol what a mess 
they're lucky no one got hurt bad but sheriffs already on it describing it as a 'mcmess' is pretty relatable tbh like who hasn't had a situation go south at fast food or something 
anyway glad the worker cooped up and didn't lose his cool too much
and threatening a mass shooting over some online orders? come on guys. sheriff judd is right though, self defense rights are one thing but using that as an excuse for violence is another. Soto was just doing his job and this is the thanks he gets 
can't believe they're being charged with trespass too... like what even is a 30 clip switch? 
I mean what even is wrong with these guys? threatening a gun-wielding employee just because they couldn't get their order fast enough?! like, dude, use the drive-thru next time 
Sheriff Judd is totally right tho, threats of mass shootings are never okay and we need to respect self-defense rights but not abuse them 
And can we talk about how wild it was that Soto just calmly pointed his gun at those guys?! 
I'm literally shaking thinking about it 
. But what really gets me is how things escalated - I mean, threatening a mass shooting? That's not acceptable at all 
. Sheriff Judd seems like a straight shooter (no pun intended) and I respect that he's vowing to investigate and bring those responsible to justice
