Bowling Green Police arrested a Michigan man Tuesday (11/25) after he reportedly demanded multiple free meals at McDonald’s, then led police on a slow speed stop and go chase.
McDonald’s employees at 1470 E. Wooster St. called police around 8:40 a.m., to report an irate customer at the drive-thru. The man, Benjamin Wisner, 41, of Chelsea, Michigan, reportedly was yelling and cursing at employees, and demanding free food.
When approached by police in the drive-thru line, Wisner drove away. Police followed Wisner, who reportedly kept stopping on East Wooster Street. Each time, police would get out of their cruisers and order him to stop, and each time he would drive away slowly.
According to the police report, Wisner drove onto the I-75 entrance ramp at about 10 mph. He reportedly stopped multiple times on the entrance ramp, again refusing to exit his vehicle. He proceeded onto I-75, driving at speeds between 4 and 12 mph. During one of his stops on I-75, police used their cruisers to box in Wisner’s vehicle. After about five minutes, Wisner exited his vehicle.
He was arrested for failure to comply, disorderly conduct, wanton disregard of safety, and taken to Wood County Jail.
