BRYANT, AR - Police have arrested a 20-year-old man after they say he pulled a gun on a customer in the drive-through line at Starbucks.

According to the Bryant police, Brandon Kyle Sanders was a passenger in a car which was trying to back out of a parking space but was blocked by the long line of cars waiting on drive-through service.

When the driver of one of the cars in line honked her horn to get the attention of the driver of Sander's car and avoid being hit, police say Sanders started yelling at her to move her car.

When she explained that she could not move forward or back because of the line, she says Sanders pulled out a gun and told her to move her car or he would kill her. The woman immediately called 911.

The car Sanders was in was able to work its way out of the parking space and fled the scene, according to police.

Officers were able to locate Sanders at his home in Benton where he was taken into custody. Officers were also able to locate the gun which turned out to be a black semi-auto Phantom Air Pistol, which they say looks just like a real gun.

Sanders was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threatening and obstruction of government operations.

If a person decides to convert to a criminal lifestyle rather than getting a job and they somehow are killed while robbing someone, stealing something or whatever, I'm ok with that. Im tired of these dead beat lazy ass people. This idiot may not have been robbing anyone, but if he is stupid enough and inpatient enough then to hell with him. Pull a gun on me, be prepared to see the barrel end of one as well. We'll see who has the balls to pull the trigger first.

Most of us continue our normal behaviors or those that we've been allowed to get away with, and I wonder if this young man has had similar lapses in judgement. If he has, he's probably been allowed to get by with it or had minor consequences imposed due to his status as a minor. Now he is an adult and the penalties can be more significant. Regardless, it sounds like an upset spoiled child misbehaving or someone trying to impress the driver (perhaps someone he was attracted to) or someone trying to inflate their ego at the expense of others.

Too much caffeine or too much meth; either way, what a dumba**! Never been to a Starbucks; but the fast food joints I've been to - impossible to move your car while in line due to curbs, etc., placed there to prevent you from getting out of line and leaving if they are being too slow. And if the lady had vehicles in front of her, and behind her, where was she supposed to move to princess? I don't advocate him being killed; but the possibility was there had he done that to a concealed carry owner. Like I said - what a dumba**!

Blueprincess what in the world have you been smoking or drinking? Have you lost your mind completely? The lady was in the drive through lane.

and..why in the world would you people want this 20 year old kid to get killed? he obviously was not thinking about the repercussions of his actions and obviously never meant what he threaten because he had an air soft bebe gun. I'm glad she did not have a gun! I hope he gets a little jail time to consider his actions.

Now the lady should have been a decent person and just pulled out of line to let him pass but all human courtesy has just completely disappeared. Most likely see saw him get in his car and blocked him in...in that case this is just funny to me. Good thing he didn't have a real gun or else she may have been taught some manner the old way. People just need to have more respect for each other and lose that entitled attitude!
