Woman Armed With Golf Club Threatened Employees, Acted Aggressively At McDonald's: Police

STAFFORD COUNTY, VA — A woman with a golf club was arrested on Saturday afternoon at a Stafford County McDonald's for posing a threat to workers, authorities said.

Nobody was injured in what the sheriff's office described as a "disturbance."

The Stafford County Sheriff's Office did not identify the arrested woman by name.

Authorities said she was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct. She was held without bond at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.

If convicted of both charges, the woman could face a year in prison and a fine of up to $2,750.

The incident occurred around 2 p.m. on Saturday at the McDonald's on Towne Center Boulevard in Stafford County. "Witnesses reported a hostile female with a golf club acting aggressively and threatening staff," the sheriff's office said in a report.

When deputies arrived at the restaurant, the woman was still holding the golf club and disrupting the business, police said. She eventually dropped the golf club as deputies took her into custody.

"Her beef with the restaurant, and why she had a golf club, remains a mystery," the sheriff's office said.
