In Naples in the Sunshine State, a Florida man took his firearm to a Wingstop resto after his delayed order caused him aggravation. The man took matters into his hand when his order was delayed by marching to the resto, where he ordered the food, with his firearm.

Florida Man Furious Over Delayed Wingstop Order

Collier County charging documents dated last August 2 disclosed that the accused, Matthew Davis, lost patience waiting for the food he ordered. He posted the online order that should have been prepared by 8:58 pm, according to True Crime Daily.

On the night, he went to the restaurant at 9:40 pm and was displeased upon learning that his order was not ready yet. Davis, while waiting for his order and sitting, gets impatient because he was expecting to get the food prepared sooner, as seen in the restaurant's video, states American Reveille.

It became clear that the 35-year-old was not at ease because he was walking back and forth. One of the employees at the restaurant offered a free drink to lessen his unease. One statement from the Collier County Sheriff's Office detective mentioned that the shop's manager tried to make Davis feel better by offering drinks at the fountain for free.

The man reportedly got more exasperated and agitated by the already long wait. He told a couple of employees that he would get his gun to show his seriousness. Davis got up and accosted one of the employees, but his female companion tried to de-escalate the tension.

Thoroughly angered by this time, Davis went to his car, where he kept the gun, and strode towards the resto, intent on making his point very clear, Wink News reported.

The distress of his girlfriend got worse when realizing that he intended to get his gun to scare the restaurant employees. However, she was able to force him to back down in time.

During the incident, a couple with a four-year-old child stepped out of an ice cream shop next to the Wingstop when the disgruntled man had a gun. A witness remarked that he saw Davis with a pistol and finger on the trigger and allegedly looked very stern and serious. A couple with the child made haste and dashed to their car, seeing how the man scared them. But he was more focused on getting his food order.

After getting arrested, the law enforcers commented that Davis informed them the gun was not loaded. He aimed to intimidate only and had no desire to hurt someone seriously, but it was a severe circumstance.

Furthermore, other revelations indicated that his mother had died recently, which has stressed him too much.

On January 25, information from the Collier County Sheriff's Office deputies verified that the suspect had two counts of deadly weapon assault. He was bonded the following day. A Florida man lost it after a delayed order at the Wingstop resto caused him to threaten the employees with his firearm at the store location.
