f ROM STAff AND WIRE REPORTS
A7. r )-year-old Clearwater, Fla., woman was taken away in handcuffs from a
McDonald's after she refused to pull forward when an officer asked her to.
According to Florida media reports. Jean Merola ordered a coffee and
fries without salt. Because unsalted fries are a special order, the McDonald s
employee asked Meloa to pull forward to a specific area of the parking lot.
Merola then reportedly heard a car honking repeatedly behind her, coming from
a police crusier driven by Officer Matthew Parco. 30.
The situation escalated when Parco allegedly called a supervisor to say he had a
possibly demented woman on his hands. Meloa called Parco a “dumb sh~."
“She's not a meek and mild little old lady," Meloa's daughter said.
