View Date:2024-12-24 00:12:20
A North Carolina pastor has been arrested and charged for allegedly assaulting his wife's co-worker at McDonald's, according to police.
The 57-year-old suspect came to a McDonald's in High Point, North Carolina on Dec. 28, according to an incident report, after his wife complained to him that her employees were "disrespecting her" during her training as a manager.
The man allegedly pushed a cook's head toward the deep fryer, then punched him several times in the face. Several employees had to pull him off the cook, who had scratches on his neck and a large contusion on his forehead and right eye, according to the incident report.
According to his Facebook profile, the suspect is a semitruck driver and a pastor at Elevated Life International Ministries in High Point. He was arrested on a charge of assault and released on a $1,000 bond.
"The safety and security of our employees and customers is our top priority, and I was appalled by this act of violence in my restaurant last week," the local McDonald's franchisee said in a statement provided to USA TODAY, and confirmed that the suspect's wife is no longer employed at McDonald's.
