CHESTERFIELD, Mo. — A man was convicted Thursday for attacking a McDonald's restaurant manager with a rake, causing him to lose an eye.
Kendell Cooks, 38, was convicted of first-degree assault, armed criminal action and property damage stemming from the incident that took place in June 2019 at a Chesterfield McDonald's, according to a news release from the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
The McDonald's manager fired Cooks' daughter for using profanity near customers and "wearing clothing not up to work standards," according to the release. The manager stumbled as he showed Cooks' daughter to the door and "slightly" bumped her from behind.
