A WJFX-FM 107.9 radio station employee was handing out bumper stickers Wednesday when a man believed to be carrying a gun demanded McDonald’s coupons, police said.
According to a Fort Wayne police report, the radio station employee had parked her work vehicle at the BP gas station at South Calhoun Street and East Rudisill Boulevard shortly before 10:15 a.m. when a man approached her and asked for coupons to McDonald’s.
The radio station employee told police she handed the man a Hot 107.9 bumper sticker and told him she was not handing out coupons at that time, police said.
The man lifted his shirt and showed the woman what she thought was a handgun in the waistband of his pants, police said.
The man then told her, “I want McDonald’s coupons,†police said.
The radio station employee told police that she was not sure whether the man had a gun or some other kind of weapon but that she was scared and told the robber that she would see what she could find in her vehicle, police said.
Police said the woman was able to find a coupon for a free McDonald’s cheeseburger inside her vehicle and handed it to the man.
The man took the coupon, threw the bumper sticker back to the radio station employee and took off on a dark gray or black bicycle on Rudisill Boulevard, police said.
The man was described as being older than 45, weighing about 220 pounds, black, with short dark hair and no facial hair and wearing a white T-shirt and long black shorts, police said.
