Man Tried To Bribe Police Officer With McDonald's Cheesburgers
<snip>

Trying to burger his way out of trouble only led to more legal woes for a Marathon man Friday, sheriff's deputies said.

Steven T. Denton, 32, was charged with a felony count of attempting to bribe a law officer after he allegedly offered to spring for McDonald's cheeseburgers in exchange for his release.

Denton was taken into custody following a fracas at the Dockside Lounge on Sombrero Boulevard.

"Denton told me that if I would drive him to McDonald's, he would buy me two cheeseburgers if I let him go and did not take him to jail," reported Deputy Mark Eastty of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.

2. Buying him Mickey Dee's cheeseburgers?
If someone said they'd buy me McDonald's, I'd take it as a threat, not a bribe. :P

4. I was about to say that :) . . .
Isn't a McDonalds cheeseburger the equivalent of assaulting an officer of the law?

5. Yeah
The officer was probably more insulted as to what the bribe was, rather than necessarily being bribed in the first place.
