The drive-thru line can be a fast and easy way to get food or make a bank deposit; it can also be a quick ray to commit a violent crime.

The night was fading, but on the rise was Charles Butler’s craving for a burger fillup and with some luck maybe score a dope fix to wash it down.It would kickstart an all-night crime spree.

“He knew how the window worked and which buttons that you push to open the register,” said Jesse, the manager of the Coolidge McDonald's, who only gave his first name. He was supervising the restaurant when Butler hit at around 11:15 p.m. local time on Sept. 12, 2018. Drive-thrus at banks and fast-food joints are meant to be in-and-out, but that ease of use can help hoodlums make cleaner getaways.

For would-be thieves gunning for the drive-thru, Trimble said they aren’t as much of a threat as someone dead-set on emptying the safe.Part of the calculus involved is to avoid the hero factor. Lamarr Webb, 38, stands accused of pointing a semi-automatic pistol at a woman who on April 4, 2017, was attempting to make a deposit at a Bank of America drive-thru in Las Vegas. As both the robbery and gun charges were dismissed, Webb was sentenced to attempted murder charge. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department

Since 2003, the annual totals of what the bureau classifies as “Drive-In/Walk-up” heists reached 97 in 2004; but as of 2017 there were only 39. FBI These amounts reflect only employees slain during some kind of violent incident. That means that bystander or even perpetrator homicides aren’t counted. If they were, the death toll would likely be greater.

Four other assailants with reputed ties to the Bloods street gang were nabbed by FBI investigators for what has been touted as a mafia-style hit and brought up on murder-for-hire conspiracy charges in Brooklyn federal court. Zottola’s grieving daughter said her father favored McDonald’s coffee because it was “cheap and good” and he “normally would get his cup at the drive-thru.”Or his 41-year-old son, Salvatore Zottola Jr., who was captured on CCTV rolling around on the ground as an assassin fired multiple rounds from a pistol after rushing him on a Bronx street in the wee hours of the morning of July 11, 2018. Luckily, he survived.

And yes, her father ran a business that vended jukeboxes, video games and pool tables — but as far as she could tell, there was no Albanian beef.Mob-style hits at the drive-thrus are certainly rare, but all kinds of action are staging at these establishments. The money, according to the police report, turned out to minted strictly for use in movies, as it read on the front and back: “For Motion Picture Use Only.”Had they tried to pull the same scheme inside Donut Man, 15 cameras would have captured the ruse and they would in turn have punched their ticket to lead roles as defendants in a courtroom theatre production.

Construction site of Cheektowaga, New York’s before it's New Year's grand opening of a Chick-Fil-A. At around 9 p.m. on Dec. 28, Andrew Beilen, 31, was driving his 2014 Chevrolet Silverado truck and when he tried to place his order at the drive-thru he allegedly raged against another customer in a 2007 Audi A6 for a position in the drive-thru.

“The offender and the victim began to argue about their spots in the drive-thru line,” the police report reads. “The victim reported [Beilen] exited the vehicle, began to yell and threaten to the victim that he has a gun in the vehicle." The 20-year-old was reportedly asleep when Vallejo Police officers arrived. They reported that he was “slumped over in the driver’s seat” of his car and “had a handgun on his lap,” according to the department’s released statement.

Across the country in Bradenton, Florida, Manatee County Sheriff’s deputies mobilized at a Burger King on Feb. 1, after trailing a car driven by an alleged serial car burglar named Charles Mobley, Jr. In Bradenton, Florida, Manatee County Sheriff’s deputies mobilized at a Burger King on Feb. 1, after trailing a car driven by alleged 30-year-old serial car burglar named Charles Mobley, Jr. Manatee County Sheriff's Office

Once in custody, the deputies charged Mobley with eight felonies and were investigating other pending charges after they discovered Mobley holding driver’s licenses belonging to 18 people, according to the report.A rep for Burger King didn’t comment for this story. Once the driver was pulled out of the car, the Canadian cops reported he reeked of booze, and when he came to, he blew a Breathalyzer showing a blood alcohol level more than four times the legal limit.

Harris imparted to the stranger on the phone that he was muscling his captive “over an unpaid debt,” according to the criminal complaint filed in Pittsburgh’s federal court.That’s when a meet at a McDonald’s in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania was arranged by Harris and the caller — who turned out to be an undercover FBI agent — to pay some of the ransom.

Harris was indicted for robbery and extortion by a grand jury last on March 14, the feds confirmed. After snorting some Xanax at his girlfriend’s house, Butler was pulled over in the stolen Kia on Candlewood Way by a Pinal County Sheriff’s Office deputy.He whipped a U-turn and in kamikaze fashion, tried to demolish the deputy’s marked cruiser.

On March 11, Charles Butler, now 22, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after he pleaded down to assaulting a police officer and three counts of dangerous crime against a child. The case stemmed from him starting off a one-night drug-addled crime-spree where he emptied a Coolidge, Arizona-based McDonald's drive-thru till of $860 cash and checks.
