- 10 years ago
An elderly Florida man is now facing battery charges after reportedly being caught on video punching a woman at a McDonald's drive-thru.
The incident took place at around 11:20 p.m. Saturday at a double drive-thru at a Winter Haven McDonald's. Howard Carl Wilson, 68, was sitting in his truck in one of the drive-thru's lanes when a car in the adjacent lane pulled in, in front of his truck after ordering.
Witnesses say Wilson was yelling obscenities and racial slurs before approaching the vehicle in front of him and confronted its female passenger, Brittani Thomas, by punching her in the face.
Wilson then reportedly returned to his truck and fled the scene. He was later located at his home by police, where he admitted being at the McDonald's and said he was angry because the other vehicle cut him off and almost struck his car.
The grumpy old man was booked and later released from the Polk County Jail.
