Charges Dismissed Against McDonalds Cashier Who Claimed Self-Defense When Attacked By Two Customers

Rayon McIntosh

Today charges were dismissed against former McDonalds cashier, Rayon McIntosh, for hitting two aggressive customers with a cooking rod, after they slapped him across the face, hopped the restaurant's counter and threatened to repeatedly stab him (McDonalds Cashier Beats Customers With A Metal Rod For Slapping Him Across The Face).

7-weeks ago, the Judiciary Report labeled the incident as one that could be categorized in court as "self-defense." One week later, McIntosh's attorney entered a plea of "self-defense" on his behalf (McDonalds Cashier Accused Of Beating Two Violent Customers Claims Self-Defense In Court).

McIntosh was held for two months at Rikers Island prison in New York, but has been released this month, due to prosecutors dropping the charges, when the grand jury refused to indict. McIntosh stated he is elated to be released and is planning to sue the McDonalds restaurant in the Village, as he and other co-workers begged the owner of the franchise in question, Carmen Paulino, to get security, via off duty New York Police Department (NYPD) officers, but she refused, stating it is not in her "financial interest."

At the root of this issue is two overly aggressive customers that caused a world of trouble for McDonalds and their cashier that was undeserved. They knew better, as in all my years I have never seen anyone do such a thing at McDonalds or any other restaurant.

Rayon McIntosh

As the Judiciary Report claimed two weeks ago would be the most plausible scenario, McDonalds’ cashier, Rayon McIntosh, has claimed self-defense in the beating of two violent female customers that physically attacked him without provocation.

The women were seen on video slapping him in the face for no reason, then jumping the counter, while treating to “cut him up” for daring to follow store procedure in scanning a $50 bill they submitted to pay for their meals.

Warning: Video contains violence and profanity

Some McDonalds restaurants do not even accept currency above a $20 bill, due to counterfeit issues with higher denominations. These women should not have attacked McIntosh for doing his job. It was outrageous. I have never seen anyone jump a food service counter and go after a cashier. It is wrong and very unwise.

Legally speaking, further threatening to stab McIntosh, puts the ball further in his court, pardon the pun, for grabbing a cooking rod to beat them back as they charged forward and allegedly kept trying to get back up. The other scenario would have been McIntosh retreating to the back of the restaurant, where he could have been beaten, stabbed and or killed by the two women that threatened to “cut him up.” It is now up to a jury to decide.

Warning: Graphic Violence And Language

31-year-old Mc Donalds cashier, Rayon McIntosh, 31, an ex-convict that served time for manslaughter, reacted very badly when two belligerent female customers grew angry at him, for following store procedures in scanning a $50 bill they submitted to pay for their food at the restaurant. Denise Darbeau and Rachel Edwards, became confrontational, began cussing and swearing at him, even jumped over the counter to further attack McIntosh in the restaurant.

McIntosh, in a rage, went for a metal rod, returned and began hitting the women with it to beat them back as they approached. One suffered a fractured skull and a broken arm, the other a "deep cut on the head." Both women and the cashier have been charged in the incident.

A lot of lessons can be learned from this regrettable story. The top one being learn to control your temper and do not resort to violence. An experienced defense attorney will claim McIntosh was acting in self-defense, after being unreasonably attacked and pursued, but the prosecution will argue it was excessive force. The women had no business slapping him and jumping behind the counter. But it can be stated he used too much force in subduing the threat to his safety. It is also sad that McIntosh reacted as forcefully as he did, considering McDonalds gave him a chance as an ex-con to obtain gainful employment.
