Shirtless Florida Man Jumps Through Drive-Thru Window to Rob Taco Bell With a Large Rock
I don’t know what’s going on in Florida drive-thru lines, but it’s getting out of hand. One Florida man went “McNuts,” and threatened to shoot up all the employees at a McDonald’s just for forgetting his nuggets. Another Florida man thought it would be hilarious to throw a live alligator through a Wendy’s drive-thru window late at night. But the most traumatic for customers may have been the Florida man who recently jumped through a Taco Bell drive-thru window holding a large rock, which he then brandished as a weapon to rob everyone inside.
According to the arrest affidavit, 40-year-old Kewarren Lee Anderson jumped through the window to demand money from both employees and customers. In the process, the shirtless man chased everyone out of the building.
Authorities aren’t sure exactly how much cash he pocketed. Officers arrived soon, and Anderson decided not to be inside the Taco Bell when they entered. He raced back outside and hid behind a dumpster. A police K-9 unit easily tracked him down.
Police finally confront Anderson after Taco Bell robbery
When police finally confronted Anderson, he was hiding behind the dumpster and clearly panicking. He told the officers he was homeless and needed the money. Police booked him into Marion County Jail. Anderson didn’t take to his new “home” very well, and within hours he was involved in a physical altercation with another incarcerated person. That person has since charged him with armed robbery and battery. Anderson has since been sentenced to four years for the Taco Bell robbery, minus time served during his trial.
As with many Florida Man stories, Anderson’s tale is amusing at first, but sad when you get down to the details. Here’s to hoping the state of Florida gives him access to the mental health and rehabilitation resources he needs during his sentence.
