Delivery driver arrested for allegedly throwing cash register at Taco Bell employee

MADISON, Miss. (WLBT/Gray News) - Police in Mississippi arrested a delivery driver who allegedly threw a cash register at a Taco Bell employee because an order he went to pick up wasn’t ready.

Officers with the Madison Police Department responded to Taco Bell around 2:35 p.m. Sunday after receiving a report of a disruption involving a delivery driver.

Police say 43-year-old John Michael Beall became upset when he arrived at the restaurant to pick up an order but learned it wasn’t ready yet. He allegedly damaged a cash register and threw it at an employee.

Investigators say Beall then left the business and tried to drive away. Officers found him in the parking lot and took him into custody without incident.

Beall was charged with misdemeanor malicious mischief and simple assault by threat. He was later released on bond.

The case will be presented in Madison Municipal Court.
