Cold Onion Rings Sparked Attack at New Mexico Burger King, Suit Says
A New Mexico man is suing Burger King after he says a manager attacked him for complaining about cold onion rings.
KRQE-TV reported the lawsuit filed in state district court says Robert Deyapp was assaulted in June 2013 when he told a Bloomfield Burger King manager about his cold order.
The lawsuit claims when Deyapp asked for a refund, manager Francisco Berrera lunged at him with a stun gun and switchblade.
Court records show Berrera later pleaded no contest to aggravated assault. An attorney for Berrera did not immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press. A spokesman for Burger King also did not return an email.
