McDonald's Customer Shoots Fellow Diner In US Over Sauce Missing In Order

Bullock was arrested on April 16th and faces charges of aggravated battery and burglary.

A Florida man allegedly resorted to violence over a missing sauce packet at a McDonald's in Zephyrhills. According to an affidavit obtained by FOX 35, 48-year-old Wesley Bullock became angry and verbally abusive towards a drive-thru worker after his order lacked the desired condiment. A bystander attempted to intervene and calm Bullock down, but things escalated when Bullock allegedly grabbed the individual by the throat and threw punches. The McDonald's worker then intervened to break up the altercation. The situation didn't end there.

As the victim headed to a Speedway gas station, Bullock reportedly cut him off, got out of his vehicle pointed a handgun at the victim's forehead and pulled the trigger. The gun did not fire, states the affidavit, but Bullock proceeded to use the weapon to strike the man in the head.

Bullock then allegedly re-racked the gun or took off the safety and aimed it at the victim.
