ST. LOUIS – A 51-year-old St. Louis man was arrested Friday after threatening to kill employees and customers inside a south city McDonald’s.
According to a probable cause statement from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the incident happened Nov. 6 in the 4600 block of South Kingshighway Boulevard, located in the Bevo neighborhood.
Police said Maurice A. Leonard got angry about his food order, entered the McDonald’s and then threatened to shoot people in the business. He refused to leave the restaurant and continued making threats.
Employees evacuated customers from the restaurant, police said.
The St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office charged Leonard with second-degree making a terrorist threat. Leonard remains jailed without bond. Online records do not indicate when he’ll appear in court.
