A Florida teen is behind bars after threatening to shoot up a McDonald’s for messing up his order, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Department.

Dayton Schaffer, 18, is charged with a false report concerning the use of a firearm against a person(s) and misuse of a two-way communication device, according to the sheriff’s office.

Schaffer was arrested after the manager of a north Lakeland McDonald’s called the police to report that someone had called threatening to shoot up the restaurant for getting his order wrong, according to the PCSD.

According to the post on X, the caller allegedly also told the manager that he was going to shoot the restaurant up. (iStock)

Schaffer claimed that it was a joke, but the Polk County Sheriff’s Department said on X that they didn’t get the punchline.

He was ultimately arrested by Polk County deputies.
