PHOENIX (AP) — A 16-year-old working a fast-food restaurant’s drive-thru window was shot and critically wounded by a customer following an argument about an order, Phoenix police said Saturday.
After the argument Friday evening, the customer walked up to the window, pulled out a handgun and shot the employee working inside the restaurant, police said in a statement.
The gunman got into the passenger side a vehicle that then drove off, but officers later arrested Theotis Polk, 27, the statement said.
Jail records said Polk was booked on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault resulting in serious physical injury, being a prohibited possessor of a firearm, disorderly conduct with a weapon and discharging a firearm within city limits.
No additional information was released and online court records didn’t list an attorney for Polk who might comment on his behalf regarding the allegations.
