'McNut Didn't Get His McNuggets,' Teen Arrested for Threatening to Shoot up McDonald's over Incorrect Order

  • Eighteen-Year-Old Dayton Schaffer was arrested by Polk County deputies for threatening to shoot up a McDonald's over a mistaken $5 meal order.
  • Schaffer made three calls around 11:30 p.m. on June 30, accusing the restaurant of forgetting his Chicken McNuggets and issuing threats.
  • McDonald's workers reported the threats, which led employees to lock the doors, and police used the caller’s phone number to identify and confront Schaffer.
  • Schaffer acknowledged making the calls but insisted they were intended as a joke; meanwhile, Sheriff Grady Judd criticized his behavior, calling him a "McNut" and stating that Schaffer faces charges including filing a false report and improperly using a communication device.
  • Schaffer is held without bond and faces felony charges that can carry second- and third-degree penalties, with a court date scheduled for August 5.
