A North Carolina man has been arrested after pulling a gun at a Wendy's restaurant when he didn't get any sauce with his meal.
The Gastonia Police Dept. said they responded around 7:51 p.m. on Nov. 17 to the restaurant located at 1510 E. Franklin Boulevard for a report of a dispute between a customer in a car at the drive-thru window and an employee at Wendy's.
While on the way to the call, police said they were told the driver of the car had a handgun and was driving around the parking lot and refusing to leave the area.
When officers arrived, they found the car still in the parking lot and identified the driver as a 35-year-old man from Gastonia, according to a report.
An employee at Wendy's told officers the man was upset that he didn't get any sauce with his meal, the report said. He continued to tell officers the man began arguing with the employee, pulled out a handgun and threatened to shoot the employee.
Officers talking to the man in the parking lot recovered a handgun from the man's pants pocket and determined the gun had been reported stolen in Mecklenburg County, police said.
The man was arrested and charged with communicating a threat and possessing a stolen handgun before being released on a $2,500 bond.
