ROCK HILL -- 

A man was arrested after he allegedly pointed a gun at two people in a Cherry Road McDonald's parking lot Tuesday.

Michael Hayes, 18, of Richburg has been charged with pointing a firearm.

A man said he and Hayes were in the drive-through at a McDonald's near I-77 just after midnight when Hayes began flirting and shouting at a woman in a car in front of them, according to a Rock Hill police report.

A man stepped out of the car and told Hayes he was the woman's boyfriend. Another passenger then handed Hayes the gun and he showed it to the couple as they drove by.

Hayes told officers he didn't point it at the couple, but held it up so they could look at it, the report states. The couple said Hayes shouted "You wanna try something?" while showing off the pistol outside of the window.

Officers found a 9-mm pistol in the glovebox of the car.

YOU WANNA TRY SOMETHING?? No, we are just trying to get our McRibs.
