Missing ketchup led to shooting at McDonald's

Two suspects were arrested in connection with a BB gun shooting at a McDonald's restaurant in Anderson, California, at around 12:15am on Tuesday. Police said they were disgruntled because ketchup was not included in their order. Employees at the business reported a red car occupied by a white man and a white woman leaving the business unhappy about the lack of ketchup. Shortly afterwards, the business reported the drive-up window had been shot out.

Police discovered the drive-up window had been damaged with two small holes in the window glass. A small BB gun projectile was located on the ground outside the business near the damaged window. At around 1:40am, police officers located a parked red coupe with a man and woman inside. They matched the descriptions provided of the suspects who had vandalised property at the McDonald's.



The two occupants of the vehicle were identified as 40-year-old Cottonwood resident, Michael Harvey and 29-year-old Shasta Lake resident, Barbara Moore. Police said Harvey was found to be on Probation per AB 109 (Post Release Community Supervision) and to have a felony warrant for his arrest out of Trinity County for a violation of the terms/conditions of his Probation. Harvey was taken into custody for his warrant. Moore, who was on probation through Shasta County, was found to be in possession of a fake $100 bill. She was taken into custody for felony possession of fictitious currency.

A search of the vehicle revealed three realistic looking guns which were gas-charged, semi-automatic, BB gun handguns, BB gun projectiles similar to that found at the McDonald's restaurant, McDonald's food packaging and drinks, and a McDonald's restaurant receipt for a recent purchase close in time to the reported shooting. Harvey was booked into the Shasta County Jail for his Felony Warrant and Moore was booked into the Shasta County Jail for Felony Possession of Fictitious Currency. Police said additional charges will be sought for Harvey and Moore regarding their suspected involvement concerning the shooting.

"Felony possession of fictitious currency." Does that mean that carrying Monopoly money is a crime?
