A pastor was recently accused of trying to push a McDonald's cook towards a deep fryer and punching him. On Thursday, Dwayne Waden, 57, showed up at his wife's workplace in High Point, North Carolina and allegedly tried to force the cook's head into the fryer. Witnesses said he walked around the counter and put his hands on the cook's neck, but multiple workers pulled him away.
The victim suffered a large contusion to the forehead and right eye, along with scratches on his neck. He was taken to a nearby hospital by family, though emergency services had been called. Police watched surveillance footage of the incident and later arrested Waden, charging him with assault and battery. He was released on a $1,000 bond.
Waden is a pastor at Elevated Life International Ministries and a semitruck driver. His wife is no longer employed by the McDonald's franchise. They released a statement saying, "The safety and security of our employees and customers is our top priority." Waden is expected to appear in court on January 22.
This incident comes just over a week after a Columbus, Ohio couple found a crack pipe in their McDonald's drive-thru order. The customer brought the bag back to the manager, but refused a refund.
