Police: Here's 10, thousand dollars! Thanks for the tip!

The fed: oh I see you made some extra money, Here's your entire one thousand dollars after tax!

The narrative would be funnier if next some McD exes go missing ... with only 'fry in hell', 'ice cream machine is broken', and 'you are McRib material' casings found.

The reporting on how he came to be arrested is quite a bit different from what's all over social media. From what I've read, it wasn't until the cops showed up that anyone even knew who it was. It seems like he was acting strange after several days on the run and nights without much sleep. A concerned customer asked an employee to call the cops.

I don't know how accurate this story is, but I have no idea where the social media narrative came from, except that it was half written before he was ever captured. I think the anger at McDonalds and the employee involved is misplaced, and I hope it doesn't have serious consequences.

Where did you see that they denied the reward payout? I haven't read anything about that yet.

I hadn't heard that either, but Google turns up a few articles like this. TL;DR, the reward money may be contingent upon a conviction - which could take time or even be subverted if the suspect is acquitted.
