A Florida man was arrested at a McDonald’s in Largo, after he got angry at ‘Christian music’ being played, and started cursing at other customers and employees, with the demand that “turn it off and play Muslim and Hindu music,†according to cops.
Joseph Allen, 46, walked into the McDonald’s around 10:20 AM Tuesday and created “a threat to the safety of others,†according to a Largo Police Department report, The smoking Gun reported.
Allen, cops say, “began cursing at customers and employees†due to the “Christian music†being played over speakers in the fast food restaurant. The “Christian music†to which Allen referred was apparently Christmas tunes.
Allen, who appeared intoxicated, approached McDonald’s workers “in an aggressive manner,” leaving the employees “in fear for their safety.â€
Police responding to a 911 call confronted Allen, who reportedly admitted to cursing at McDonald’s workers and customers. A search of Allen turned up a small bag of methamphetamine in a pants pocket. Seen above, Allen was booked into the county jail on disorderly conduct and narcotics possession charges.
Allen, a convicted felon, is locked up in lieu of $2150 bond. His lengthy rap sheet includes busts for assault; robbery; grand theft; trespass; battery; disorderly intoxication; lewd and lascivious exhibition; distributing stolen property; criminal mischief; and carrying a concealed weapon.
