Rapping teens cited; McDonald's says it was a safety issue

ELIZABETH WHITE, Associated Press AMERICAN FORK, Utah -- A rap by four teenagers at a McDonald's has gotten them a bad rap in one Utah city.

The teens were cited by American Fork police earlier this week for disorderly conduct after they rapped their order at a McDonald's drive-through.

The teens said they were imitating a popular video on YouTube. They rapped their order, which begins with, "I need a double cheeseburger and hold the lettuce ..." once quickly before repeating it more slowly.

Spenser Dauwalder said employees at the restaurant told him and his friends they were holding up the line and needed to order or leave.

The 18-year-old said nobody was in line. He and his three 17-year-old friends left without buying anything.

American Fork Police Sgt. Gregg Ludlow says a manager wrote down the car's license plate number and called police. The teens were later cited by officers at a high school parking lot outside a volleyball match.

"We thought, you know, just teenagers out having fun," Dauwalder told KSL Newsradio. "We didn't think it would escalate to that."

Disorderly conduct citations are issued when someone does something to cause annoyance or alarm, Ludlow said. The citation is an infraction similar to a speeding ticket, Ludlow said.

"It was not just that they were rapping, they continued to hold things up," Ludlow said.

Ludlow said the teens were asked several times to speak plainly and that ultimately the manager came outside.

The owner-operator of the American Fork McDonald's said in a statement that the issue was about employees' safety.

"The employee in question felt that her safety was at risk as a result of the alleged actions of these individuals in the drive-thru, not as a result of them rapping their order," franchisee Conny Kramer said in the statement. "As such, she contacted the local authorities."

But Sharon Dauwalder, Spenser's mother, said they will fight it nonetheless.

"We have to," she told The Associated Press on Thursday. "The citation is there."

sO.... YO.. BE AWARE-- THAT CLOWN RONALD HATES RAP.

I'll bet the little idiots were talking mad shit and deserved it. I used to work on drive thru intercom systems and got to hear lots of stories. Lets just say that teenagers dont give much respect to fast food workers.

I agree, but also feel that the fast food owner operator is ridiculous for calling the police. This is stupid on both sides.

1. Teenagers have no respect

2. People need to learn to let it go. The drive thru person "feared for their safety" come on.

+1 feared for their safety? Seriously?

Isn't raping part of a gang violence thing? I mean it's like first they rap, then they bicker, then they pull out guns and shoot at anything in the place? Kind of like Toledo and Columbus. :D
