The Willowick Police Department in northeast Ohio is appealing to the public for assistance in locating a man who was caught on camera pointing a gun at a Burger King drive-thru employee. The incident occurred in a Cleveland suburb on Easter morning at approximately 9 a.m., according to reports from local authorities.

The suspect was captured in surveillance footage standing outside a black vehicle next to a white car at the drive-thru window. He can be seen pointing a firearm at the employee inside. Thankfully, no injuries were reported in the incident, which was reported to the Willowick Police Department by the Burger King employee.

Howard Vernon, the employee who was targeted, recounted the incident to WOIO-TV. He explained that he was taking the customer's order, which included two sausage, egg, and cheese croissants, a sausage biscuit, and hash browns. The total came to approximately $8. However, the customer disputed the amount, arguing that it should be around $11.

Vernon attempted to explain that there was a promotion, resulting in a lower price, but the customer became increasingly agitated and began using profanity. Frustrated, Vernon told the customer that he didn't understand why he would want to pay more money. The customer then abruptly left the scene.

Surveillance footage revealed that the suspect later returned to the Burger King and parked next to another vehicle outside the drive-thru window. He exited his car and once again pointed his gun towards the window and the employee before fleeing the scene.

The Willowick Police Department has released images from the surveillance video in an effort to identify and locate the suspect. They are urging anyone with information regarding the incident or the whereabouts of the individual involved to come forward and assist with the investigation.

It is a concerning incident that highlights the importance of maintaining calm and resolving conflicts peacefully. Law enforcement officials are taking this incident seriously, and they are determined to bring this dangerous individual into custody.

For now, the investigation remains ongoing, and authorities are hopeful that with the assistance of the public, they will be able to locate and apprehend the suspect promptly.
