“I’m Lovin’ It” Felony Charge

Kansas City - On December 27th, 2009, Alesha McMullen, 19, was not saying “I’m Lovin’ It.” Instead, she was “throwing a tantrum,” as some have put it.

Allegedly, the situation started when McMullen went inside McDonald’s and ordered a cheeseburger snack wrap. The wrap is a newer item on the menu, and apparently the person taking the order either was not familiar with the item or misheard McMullen (both possibilities are mere speculation). As a result, the employees handed McMullen a standard cheeseburger.

Once the mistake was acknowledged, the employees reportedly made and offered the correct item to her in place of the cheeseburger. Apparently, she declined this offer and requested a refund.

In response to McMullen’s request for a refund, the employees denied the request. At this, McMullen then threw wet floor signs, as well as a water dispenser, over the counter. Then, to make matters even worse, she proceeded to knock three cash registers off the counter, as well—one of which broke.

All in all, the damage was estimated at $3000.

After video surveillance of the event was released, McMullen was identified through TIPS Hotline calls. When she was arrested and charged with felony property damage, McCullen was reported to have been hiding in her apartment’s closet.

Needless to say, when questioned about the incident, she explained that McDonald’s “served a ‘messed up’ cheeseburger.” She did admit to throwing items, saying that she was “having a ‘bad day.’”
