After receiving discount, customer pulls gun on Burger King employee

Police in northeast Ohio are asking the public for help locating a Burger King customer caught on camera pointing a gun at a drive-thru employee after the worker tried to give the man a discount.

The incident took place Sunday in a Cleveland suburb, the Willowick Police Department reported.

No injuries were reported in the crime reported to the department by the Burger King employee.

The employee, Howard Vernon, told WOIO-TV he was taking the customer's order − two sausage, egg and cheese croissants, a sausage biscuit and hash browns − which totaled about $8.

“He was like, ‘My order can't be right, it should be like $11,' and I'm like trying to explain to him that we had a promotion going on, and like it's cheaper, and he started cussing and getting all loud, and I was like, ‘I don't know what to tell you, I don't know why you want to pay more money,' ” Vernon told the outlet.

The customer sped away from the scene, but images captured on surveillance video at the business show he returned a short time later and pulled alongside another car parked outside the drive-thru window.

In images released by police in Willowick, a city located along Lake Erie, the suspect is seen standing outside a black vehicle beside another white car at the drive-thru window, pointing a firearm at the employee inside.
