James Lee Cruz, 58, is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail in lieu of $7,500 bond. He is facing three counts of aggravated assault.

City police arrested Cruz after the three women called to report that a man in a silver Buick just couldn't wait in the drive-through line at the McDonald's on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard near Congress Avenue during the early morning hours of May 13.

The women told police the two cars were side-by-side around 1:35 a.m. when the driver, later identified as Cruz, pulled out a gun and pointed it at them, the arrest report said. They also said the man was yelling something at them, but they could not hear him.

In fear, the women backed up and allowed Cruz to pass them. That left the man's license-plate tag visible, which they wrote down and called in to 911 as they followed Cruz to his Presidents Way home.

What an idiot! He was apparently quite ready to kill for a sausage biscuit, or something? The happy 'tropical' shirt is a rather incongruous touch, too.

I think the bond is low. That guy needs to be locked up for a while and his little toys taken from him.
