INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis man was arrested after allegedly waving his gun in a KFC because his food was cold.
The Speedway Police Department said officers were dispatched on Sunday, Sept. 15 just before 5 p.m. to a KFC located on the 5800 block of Crawfordsville Road, near Cunningham Road in Speedway on a report of a man waving a gun in the fast food restaurant.
Police said they found the suspect, later identified as Anthony Williams, at the restaurant and asked him if he had a gun, to which he responded that he did and it was in his pocket.
Officers then took the gun from Williams while they conducted their investigation.
According to court documents, a KFC employee told police Williams was complaining his pickup food order was cold, but he was late picking up his food so that's why it was cold.
Documents say an argument then started between the employee and Williams over the food. The employee said Williams allegedly started making threats that he was involved with a "gang and from south central" and went to his vehicle. The employee said that's when she went to the KFC office to "calm down."
The employee explained Williams then allegedly entered the store with a gun in his hand and began waiving it at employees and yelling before he eventually put it back in his pocket.
Another employee told police that Williams was allegedly pointing and waving the gun around the restaurant, and that Williams jumped over the counter and started waving the gun at employees and tried to get into the office.
When officers questioned Williams, documents say he told them the employee threw items at him during the argument. He told police "at no time" did he show or brandish his gun and that the gun never left his pocket. Williams said he did jump over the counter, but that was because he was "begging for a refund" or for his food to be remade.
Williams was arrested and charged with intimidation with a deadly weapon and criminal recklessness committed with a deadly weapon.
