McDonald's drive-thru passenger pulls out replica AR-15 rifle after ice cream dispute

Jerry Henry fetches gun from trunk after driver gets angry about no ice cream

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - A Delray Beach man wasn't happy that a nearby McDonald's didn't have any ice cream, so he pulled out a replica AR-15 rifle while he waited in the drive-thru line, police said.

Jerry Henry was arrested Monday after the incident at the McDonald's on Linton Boulevard.

Delray Beach police said Henry was a passenger in a car at the drive-thru when the driver, who was ordering food at the intercom, became upset with the employee who was taking his order.

According to a probable cause affidavit, the driver, identified as Michael Delhomme, was upset because the ice cream machine wasn't working.

The employee told police that he watched from the store's surveillance video as Henry got out of the front passenger seat and went into the trunk to remove what appeared to be a rifle.
The employee told his co-workers, and they went into the bathroom to hide and call 911.

Police said surveillance video confirmed employees' accounts of what happened.

According to the report, Henry admitted that Delhomme asked him to get the "stick" from the trunk after the dispute about the ice cream. Henry said he put the gun between his legs in the front seat.

Henry was arrested on a charge of improper exhibition of a firearm.

5. My son worked late night at a mc Donald's that was next to a taco bell

Taco Bell got the stoners, McDonald's got the drunks
And then when taco Bell would close, McDonald's would get both.
He went to school with many of them so the stories were limited
But sometimes a story will slip out

Don't doubt this story for a minute

These things happen.

6. I'm still stuck on the thought process here

did the guy think that producing a gun would suddenly make ice cream available?

I don't understand the basic mental processes of people like this.

13. It's the kind of people who keep a gun in their trunk in case someone makes them mad.

8. What is a "replica AR-15"?

[Lee-Lee]

16. Probably an airsoft gun

They shoot little plastic BB's, but some are very, very realistic looking to the point you can't tell the difference even a couple feet away.

11. "Look at that. See that picture on the menu?"

"It's plump, it's juicy, it's 3 inches thick. And then you get this miserable squashed thing. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture? Anyone?"

14. Man, when I first saw that movie, that guy was the hero of the movie...

...right up until he wasn't.

(One of the greatest lines in cinematic history, as far as I'm concerned: "You mean I'm the bad guy?" )
