Police in Montgomery County, Maryland, released footage of a suspect who robbed a fast-food restaurant in Silver Spring.
Officers were called to a McDonald’s restaurant located on Colesville Road and 2nd Avenue on May 5 at around 12:15 p.m.
According to the news release, detectives believe the suspect — described as a black male –“became irate” after standing in line at the restaurant. He then cut to the front of the line and was told by the cashier that he had to wait.
