A Florida man threatened Burger King employees with a pair of pliers while jumping the counter and demanding free food on Friday, authorities said.
Hubert Credit Jr., 50, entered the fast-food restaurant in Tampa shortly after 5:30 p.m. and started stating he wanted free food from employees, the Tampa Police Department said.
When the employees refused, Credit pulled a pair of pliers from his pocket and threatened them, based on authorities.
Surveillance video shows Credit bang the pliers on the counter and knock over one in every of the money registers, police said. He can then be seen jumping the service counter where he allegedly made additional threats.
“In fear, a restaurant manager discreetly notified a citizen within the drive-thru lane along with her radio headset that they were in peril and to call 911,” the department said.
Within the meantime, police said the manager was forced to present Credit free food.
Responding officers arrived and located Credit eating the food inside a stall in the boys’s bathroom, police said. Officers ordered Credit to go away the toilet and arrested him without incident.
Credit was charged with robbery with a deadly weapon.
