DICKSON CITY, LACKAWANNA CO. (WOLF) — The holiday season is supposed to be merry and bright, but one Dickson City McDonald’s customer apparently channeled more Grinch than holly jolly elf.
According to Dickson City Police, an unidentified man became enraged inside the McDonald’s restaurant and smashed an ordering kiosk before speeding away in a dark-colored minivan. Officers jokingly described the culprit as a “Meisterburger” — a nod to the grumpy character from classic Christmas specials — while noting the scene looked more like something caused by the Hamburglar’s rowdy cousin.
The outburst happened recently during what police hoped would be a peaceful stretch of holiday festivities. Instead, the suspect’s Grinch-like behavior left the restaurant with a broken kiosk and a mystery to solve.
Police released photos of the man and the vehicle and are asking anyone who recognizes the “Meisterburger” to come forward.
Officer Tully is handling the investigation and can be reached at 570-489-3231 ext. 2052.
No arrests have been made, and the case remains open.
