Grandmother Arrested at McDonald's

CLEARWATER, FL (AP) -- A 75-year-old woman was arrested at a Clearwater McDonald's drive-thru, because police say she wouldn't pull her car forward.

Authorities say Jean Merola, a grandmother of eight, was arrested for disorderly conduct after she refused an officer's orders to move her car while she waited for the coffee and fries she ordered at the drive-through window. Merola says the McDonald's employees told her to wait there for her food.

Merola was handcuffed behind her back and put in the cruiser. Another officer arrived and took her to the Pinellas County Jail. Merola says she was searched, photographed and fingerprinted.

Jail records show she was released about 90 minutes later on her own recognizance.

They should have arrested her for ordering coffee and fries. What kind of insane person eats fries while they drink coffee? I wonder if the search was of the strip and probe variety?

I was shocked to hear about the cop at McDonalds.

They usually hang around doughnut shops.

I wonder if they used a classic cop statement like, "Drop the fries and coffee and put your hands in the air oldtimer".
