possible juvenile issue. Received a call from one of the employees at McDonald's advising that a 9 to 10 year old juvenile male and his mother in a gray chief grand Cherokee with Florida 28 showed up at the restaurant. The mom made the juvenile get out of the vehicle to walk up to the drive-through window to get the food so she would not be seen at the window. Juvenile is going to be on the side of the building next to the dumpster. Mom is going to be parked in the vehicle on the opposite side of the building. Juvenile told one of the employees he has not eaten in a week. That's simple. Um, as tech is in 2 a.m., I'm going 23 in about 30 seconds.
