A
McDonald’s customer was arrested after calling police to complain
about his Big Mac hamburger having onions – and challenging the
restaurant’s manager to a fist fight. 53-year-old Leslie McDonagh
was visiting the fast food chain in Manchester, England, around 10:30
p.m. on a Friday when he claims he received the “wrong meal” that
he could not eat because of a “severe allergy” to onions.
According to Metro, McDonagh, who had been drinking prior to visiting
the McDonald’s, threatened to fight the manager before calling
9-1-1 to report the mixed-up meal. The incident began to escalate
when police arrived and asked McDonagh to leave the restaurant. He
reportedly fell to the floor and grabbed a police officer’s leg as
they attempted to stand him up. He also spit in an officer’s face
while they were taking him off the premises. McDonagh was arrested
for the incident, which took place December of last year, and
recently appeared in court where he pleaded guilty to assault and
being drunk and disorderly in public. (https://fxn.ws/2MNEegW)

Garlic Actually Attracts Vampires
Well,
not real vampires, but close: One experiment found that leeches
attach themselves to a hand smeared with garlic in 14.9 seconds,
compared to 44.9 seconds to a hand without. So if you’re trying to
keep real-life bloodsuckers at bay, garlic actually is not your
answer.

It was a scene right out of a bank heist movie. A lone man brandishing a handgun walked into Bangor Savings Bank, located in Maine, on Tuesday morning, robbed the bank, and fled; but no one could have predicted what happened next. He ran across four lanes of traffic on Main Street and into the Ming Lee restaurant parking lot, slipped on the ice, and found himself face-to-face with a special agent for the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Task Force who just happened to be parked in the right place at the right time. The state police special agent, Glenn Lang, had no idea a bank had just been robbed but was suspicious. He got out of his vehicle, tackled the man and took him into custody just about the time city police responded to the report of a bank robbery. The alleged robber, later identified as 37-year-old Jason Mackenrodt, was arrested on charges of robbery and terrorizing and on a probation hold — he was on probation for burglary — and was taken to the Kennebec County jail in Augusta.

For
the second time in as many weeks, a Florida Man has been arrested for
battering a woman with a burrito. Police charge that 41-year-old
Peter Elacqua got into an argument with his girlfriend Friday in
their Port Richey residence. After Elacqua allegedly shoved the woman
into a chair in their bedroom, he “threw his burrito at the
Victim,” striking her in the face with the food item. When a
sheriff’s deputy arrived at the home in response to a 9-1-1 call,
the woman had “the contents of the burrito dispersed across her
face, neck, and left chest/shoulder area.” Elacqua fled the area
before cops arrived and refused to return home when contacted on his
cell phone. He subsequently “turned his phone off and no further
contact was made.” Police eventually caught up with Elacqua
yesterday afternoon and arrested him on a misdemeanor domestic
battery charge. He was booked into the county jail in advance of a
court hearing today. (https://bit.ly/2SrpZVc)
