What is it about McDonald's Chicken McNuggets that can inspire such rage? Police in Toledo, Ohio say Melodi Dushane socked a McDonald's employee and punched out a drive-thru window... because the restaurant wasn't serving McNuggets.
Dushane was arrested for felony vandalism for the New Year's incident, according to The Smoking Gun. And that means the Weird Crime Mug Shot Hall of Shame has a new member.
This isn't the first time McNuggets have been linked to violent rage. As I've written before, these tiny chicken snacks have been been at the heart of some strange crimes true-crime tales.
One woman even called 911 -- three times -- because the restaurant was out of the famous golden, crispy chicken chunks.
But don't think of these treats as a quick road to crime... because they've also been known to inspire high art. See artist Banksy's collection of McNuggets as you've never seen them before. (Dumb Crime du Jour)
Weird Crime Highlights
- The Curious Stabber: Committing a crime because, say, McDonald's ran out of McNuggets is dumb enough. But crime for no motive of all takes stupidity to a whole new level. Police say a deranged Wisconsin man stabbed another man in Minneapolis on Christmas just to see what it felt like, according to the Star Tribune. It felt good putting Nicholas Tretter in the Weird Crime Mug Shot Hall of Shame.
- World's Dumbest Cocaine Joke: A Florida man was arrested after police found cocaine hidden in his garage... inside a leaf blower, according to TCPalm.com. Some people take their street slang so literally. Find Gerald Rodney Scott -- without his blow -- in the Weird Crime Mug Shot Hall of Shame.
