BIBB COUNTY, Ga. — Things got hot at a Waffle House in Middle Georgia this week over a customer’s request for barbecue sauce.

Early Tuesday, a man sat down for some food at the restaurant on Riverside Drive near I-75 in Macon, according to the Macon Telegraph.

Willie Edward Drake, 43, of Columbus, asked for some barbecue sauce, according to a Bibb County sheriff’s report.

Drake was told the restaurant had none, and then things got spicy, according to the sheriff’s report.

TRENDING STORIES:

The man “then began screaming obscenities and insulting” the workers, then added: “I’ll go to (expletive) jail over some barbecue sauce!” the report said.

And soon, he did.

When deputies arrived, Drake was “uncooperative and disorderly," according to police.

He was jailed on a disorderly conduct charge, the newspaper reported.
