In brief: a man claiming to be a cop calls a McDonald’s restuarant and talks the manager into detaining one of her employees, an 18-year-old girl, on suspicion of theft. The pseudo-cop then orders the manager to perform a strip search, and continues the orders; the scene culminates with the manager’s fiance being ordered by a voice on the phone to spank the girl and demand oral sex from her, which he does. The entire episode is captured on the restaurant’s video security system. It ended when the manager called her supervisor, who the fake cop claimed was on the phone with him the whole time, and discovered she was asleep at home.
The man arrested and charged with being the fake cop, a Florida resident named David Stewart, was found not guilty in November. I bring this up again because we had a pretty lively thread in 2005 about this case, and not any reaction to the acquittal.
Good night. Even if David Stewart is guilty (not having seen the evidence against him I can’t say), anyone who’d be stupid enough to either put up with this nonsense (try getting me to stand still while you strip-search me!) or actually obey it seems like the real criminal.
What crime could the person making the phone call actually been guilty of? The only thing that comes to mind is indecent phone call (or whatever the actual term for that is).
