Grandmother Arrested At McDonald's Drive-Thru

[Saguaro]

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- A 75-year-old woman was arrested at a Clearwater McDonald's drive-thru because police said she wouldn't pull her car forward.

Authorities said Jean Merola, a grandmother of eight, was arrested for disorderly conduct after she refused an officer's orders to move her car while she waited for the coffee and fries she ordered at the drive-through window. Merola said the McDonald's employees told her to wait there for her food.

Merola was handcuffed behind her back and put in the cruiser. Another officer arrived and took her to the Pinellas County Jail .

Merola said she was searched, photographed and fingerprinted.

"I was under arrest because I was in a wrong parking place. I says well, they told me to park here," Merola said.

Jail records show she was released about 90 minutes later on her own recognizance.

Completely agree. Somebody was just upset that she wouldn't move and decided to make a case out of it. What a shame!
