Man allegedly infuriated that an Algiers fast-food restaurant would not take his order as a pedestrian, climbed through the drive-through window to threaten employees, New Orleans police said.
New Orleans Police on Wednesday (Oct. 14) released surveillance video of the suspect climbing through the drive-thru window, demanding food.
The NOPD said the incident occurred Friday night (Oct. 9) at 11:44 p.m. at a restaurant in the 4300 block of General De Gaulle Drive in Algiers.
According to police, the suspect attempted to place an order while on foot at the drive-up window. Employees refused to take his order in that fashion, citing company policy.
“In a fit of rage, he climbed through the window, brandishing a firearm and demanding food from the staff,” the NOPD said in an initial incident report. “Despite his threats, the employees stood firm and refused to comply with his demands.”
The NOPD said the suspect climbed back out the window and fled on a motorized scooter.
