A Montana man who was accused of filling his water cup with soda at a fast food restaurant has been arrested and charged with multiple misdemeanors and a felony.

Missoula Police Public Information Officer Travis Welsh says police were called to the scene on Thursday around 2:30 pm after Daniel Stine started a fight with a restaurant employee.

The 48-year-old had allegedly tried to fill a water cup with soda at a restaurant and was confronted by an employee who told him he would have to pay for the soft drink, Welsh said to KGVO.

"When confronted by an employee who informed him that he had to pay for the cup of soda he refused and left out one of the entrances," Welsh said, KGVO reported. "The employee followed him, told him that he was not welcome back then he turned and came back towards the employee and tried to kick that person before walking away again."

Stine was accused of trying to kick the employee after the employee confronted him.

Stine had fled the restaurant when police arrived, but officers spotted him entering another restaurant nearby and followed him into the restroom where he had gone to hide.

According to police officers, once authorities found Stine in the bathroom the man began to resist arrest and officers shocked him with a stun gun.

"The officers were able to make entry to the bathroom, however, when they did and confronted the man, rather than comply with their instructions he approached them in what appeared to be an aggressive manner," Welsh said. "The officers attempted to take control of him physically and that's when he began to resist and fight with the officers and had to be tased to comply to the officer's instructions."

Stine was arrested and booked with four misdemeanors including resisting arrest, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. He was also charged with felony robbery for the incident and is being held on an additional $50,000 bond.

This comes two weeks after a brutal beat down happened in a McDonalds when a woman tried to fill her water cup with soda.

This is why all Soda machines needs to be put behind the counter and you should have to ask a staff member to fill up your cup.

I mean, if I were making minimum wage working fast food I wouldn't give a fuck if someone ordered water and filled it up with ten cents worth of soda.

that's stupid. they would get constant refill requests while trying to do other things. most people don't steal soda. also, the soda is super cheap. the stuff that comes out of the machines costs about 3 cents a cup for the company. so what if someone occasionally steals a cup? big deal

This wouldn't have happened if the man had a gun

This is entrapment

Bean Counters care, and they own Corporate America / big Franchises.

So they own your little Peonic soul.

With the advent of Automation, this will help create a new job to cover the ones lost through automation.

I agree, if I was that minimum wage worker as well.

But Corporate America will set policy to Min/Max profits and each little worker will have to comply.

If you worked at a restaurant, would you honestly care? Oh, no! Somebody got a free drink, which should have been free to begin with.
