Man Turns Self In For McDonald’s Slap

A New Jersey man accused of climbing into a McDonald’s drive-through window and slapping an employee upside the head turned himself in to police. South Brunswick Police said Rashon East told officers he decided to turn himself in Monday after he and his children saw video of the incident televised on the news. East, 34, was charged with simple assault and making terroristic threats. He could face up to 5 years in prison if convicted. Police said East ordered and paid for a Filet-o-Fish sandwich on March 28th at the drive-through window and climbed through when he felt his order was taking too long. Police said East threatened the employee, pushed him against a counter, and slapped him in the face before leaving the restaurant with his sandwich. East is due back in court April 13th.
