GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan woman has been sentenced to three to seven years in prison for opening fire at a McDonald’s restaurant after workers twice failed to put bacon on her burgers.

Authorities say 30-year-old Shaneka Torres became angry in February 2014 when the first burger she ordered at the restaurant’s drive-up station was missing bacon. She was offered a free meal, but bacon also wasn’t added to a second burger order.

Police say she fired a shot through the restaurant. No one was injured.

A Kent County Circuit Court jury convicted her March 25. Judge Paul Sullivan on Tuesday sentenced her to one to five years for shooting at a building, plus two years for possessing a firearm during a felony.

Torres says she’s sorry “but it’s over and done with.”

  1. This is why everyone in the country ought to be armed to the teeth at all times: there’s always a chance someone’s gonna rip you off on your order.

  2. Looks like she’ll be going bacon-free for the next several years. I don’t think they include it on the menu up at County.

    She was simply standing her ground with a legally unregistered concealed firearm. What’s the problem? I thought this was an example of right-wing utopia!

  4. Well, her name is Shaneka Torres… I’ll let you figure out why this isn’t part of the right wing utopia.

  5. Over a year is usually a state pen.
