Cookies lead to gunfire at drive-through
DAYTON - The employee of a local drive-through fired multiple shots in the air after a group of people returned to the store to complain about his actions.
Nicholas A. Taylor, 19, was arrested Monday, March 23, at about 9:30 p.m. after he fired at least eight shots into the air outside the Youngs Drive Thru, near Riverview Avenue and Philadelphia Drive, according to a police report.
The incident happened after an employee ate cookies from a package meant for a waiting customer, the report stated.
The two customers said they didn’t want the opened package of cookies and they started to argue with Taylor, the report stated. Taylor told them to leave, but the customers returned, along with more family members to confront Taylor, the report stated.
That’s when Taylor fired multiple rounds into the air, the report stated.
Witnesses told officers Taylor passed the gun to his girlfriend as officers arrived, and the gun was not recovered, the report stated.
Officers said the customers should have called police instead of going back to the drive through.
No one was hurt during the incident. Taylor faces a misdemeanor charge of aggravated menacing.
