McDonald’s employee throws burger at other employee, charged with assault

A McDonald’s employee is being charged with assault after allegedly throwing a cheeseburger at another employee.  

Bloomington Police Department Lt. John Kovach said the 21-year-old employee who threw the cheeseburger said an 18-year-old employee was arguing with him about working too slowly. The two work at the East Third Street McDonald’s.

The 21-year-old told police he finished making a burger and threw it to the side to the 18-year-old who was bagging food when the the yellow-wrapped cheeseburger hit his head.

Police said the 21-year-old never said he hit the 18-year-old on purpose but also didn’t say he hit her on accident.

The employee who was hit in the face by the burger told police she did not get hurt from it, but wanted to press charges.
