'McNut Didn't Get His McNuggets,' Teen Arrested for Threatening to Shoot up McDonald's over Incorrect Order

Eighteen-Year-Old Dayton Schaffer was arrested in Polk County after threatening to shoot a McDonald's for an incorrect $5 meal deal order on June 30.
Schaffer made three calls to the McDonald's around 11:30 p.m., threatening violence after the restaurant forgot his chicken McNuggets, which led to police involvement.
Despite the manager apologizing and promising to fix the order if Schaffer returned, he continued the threats and admitted making the calls to deputies at his home.
Schaffer faces second-degree felony charges for false report related to firearm use and third-degree felony charges for misusing a two-way communication device, though he claims the threats were a joke.
Sheriff Grady Judd called Schaffer a 'McNut' and highlighted the case as a reminder that minor frustrations can escalate into serious criminal consequences.
