Today on WTF News, a North Carolina pastor has been arrested for trying to force a McDonald’s employee’s head into a deep frier.
According to Atlanta Black Star, the incident occurred after the pastor’s wife called him to complain about her colleagues teasing her at work.
57-year-old Dwayne Waden stormed into his wife’s workplace and told her to clock out.
The cook on duty pursued them and kept disrespecting his wife, which led to a confrontation with Waden.
Surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts then showed the pastor grabbing the cook’s neck and pushing his head towards the deep frier.
The North Carolina pastor then punched him in the face several times.
The other employees stopped the fight, probably saving the cook’s life.
This Is One North Carolina Pastor You Don’t Want To Mess With
The cook received “a large contusion to the forehead and right eye, along with scratches on his neck,” according to a police report.
But despite his injuries, the EMS didn’t take him to hospital.
Dwayne Waden, who ministers for the Elevated Life International Ministries, was arrested and charged with assault.
The police later released him on a $1,000 bond.
The North Carolina pastor then gave his account of the incident.
“She went to the back to get her keys. When she went to the back to get her keys, a gentleman came from behind, which was a manager, mouthing off at me and disrespecting my wife… I approached him and said, ‘What you’re not going to do is disrespect my wife in front of me.’”
“When I did that, he got in my face. When he got in my face, I pushed him, and when I pushed him, he grabbed me, so when he grabbed me, we went to tussling and stuff of that nature, and the floor was real slippery, so I kind of bear hug him, and when I bear hug him, he punched me in the back of my head. When he punched me in the back of my head, I commenced to swinging.”
As a direct result of the incident, Waden’s wife was fired.
The franchise owner stressed the importance of safety in the workplace.
“The safety and security of our employees and customers is our top priority.”
