US EditionMcDonald's Customer Shot During Fight over Being Denied Service: Florida Deputies
The dispute began when customers were refused orders due to high volume, leading to a struggle and a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, Polk County officials said.
- On Sunday, a Davenport McDonald's employee Yoan Soto and two customers faced charges after a drive-thru argument escalated into a physical struggle and shooting inside the store.
- Peter Story and Nicholas Jones grew agitated after being told the restaurant wasn't taking orders, and the store manager said they threatened to `beat Soto's ass` and wait in the parking lot.
- Surveillance footage shows Yoan Soto advancing on Jones and pushing him before turning toward Story, then producing a firearm from the store's back area while one man mentioned a "switch" and a "30‑clip."
- Story was struck in the neck but his injury is not life‑threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery while Soto was charged with tampering with physical evidence and Jones and Story face disorderly conduct, trespassing and failing to leave charges.
- Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd framed the episode as self‑defense, saying `He has a right to stand his ground and protect himself` and called it a `McMess`.
