‘Food is cold:’ Disorderly conduct charge filed after McDonalds staff berated

An unruly customer now faces disorderly conduct charges after police pulled him out of an area McDonald’s restaurant.

A manager of a McDonald’s at 2862 Jefferson Davis Highway in North Stafford walked up to a county sheriff’s deputy car parked in the restaurant’s parking lot on Thursday, March 26, 2020, at 4:02 p.m.

He told the deputy that a man inside the restaurant was extremely irate and screaming, the sheriff’s office told Potomac Local News.

Employees inside the restaurant later told deputies that the man was upset because the food he ordered several hours prior was now cold.

When the deputy first went inside the restaurant, he found a man yelling at the store employees.

The man refused to comply with the deputy’s commands to stop, according to a sheriff’s office spokeswoman.

The deputy then tried to arrest him and the man flailed and screamed, so more police were called to the McDonalds to help, according to a spokeswoman.

Eventually, the man was taken into custody and was taken to the Rappahannock Regional Jail. Timothy Goodman, 40, of Stafford

Timothy Goodman, 40, of Stafford, was held without bond and is charged with disorderly conduct and public intoxication, according to a sheriff’s department spokeswoman.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam on Monday, March 23 ordered all restaurants to close their dining rooms to eat-in guests due to the spread of the coronavirus.

An employee at the McDonalds where this incident took place said the customers are still able to walk in and take food to go or use the restaurant’s drive-through.
