A Georgia murder suspect was tasered and arrested after cussing out a McDonald's manager and calling the police over cold fries after they refused to remake his food.
Antoine Sims, 24, of Lawrenceville, was arrested by the Kennesaw Police on Friday after he and a McDonald's manager both called the cops after getting into an argument over cold fries.
Sims, who was wearing an ankle monitor, had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for failing to appear in court for a 2018 homicide. He is accused of setting a car on fire with a woman's body in it in October of that year.
Bodycam footage, obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, shows Sims calmly approaching officers when they arrived at the McDonald's, located on Cobb Parkway.
When asked why he called 911 over cold fries, he replied: 'So, basically, we went in there, and I guess something is wrong with their [internet] server, because we tried to order on the little box thing, and he said that wasn't working.
'We ordered the food, but he couldn't print out the receipt,' Sims said. 'So he said the receipt would be printed in the back, so we sat down - me and my fiancée are looking for homes around here - so I guess our order was called, but we don't even know our order number.
'So now our food is sitting there cold.'

Sims said he never received a receipt, so he didn't know when his and his fiancée's order was called, and by the time they figured it out, the fries were 'lukewarm.' He asked the manager, who was not named, to make a fresh batch, but was only offered a refund, which he refused because it would take 'three to seven business days' to appear on his account
He admitted when he tried the fries, it was 'lukewarm, but they're not hot' and that's when he asked the manager for some fresh ones.
Sims then claimed the manager reached into the bag and 'touched the fries,' which made the murder suspect want fresh ones even more.
'He's already done, touched them, can I just get a fresh set?' he said.
That's when Sims claimed the manager, who was not named, became confrontational and told him he could 'run his store however he wants' and offered the couple a refund. Sims said he refused the refund because it takes 'three to seven business days' to process back onto his CashApp credit card.
Sims becomes visibly nervous when officer asks for his ID and said he didn't have it.
When the officer goes to talk to the manager, the story changes slightly and the manager insists Sims cussed him out and claimed 'all his food's cold.' The manager said it was 'burning my hands' when he touched it.
The manager claimed Sims said: 'You better give me my f**king fries, my fresh fries, mother f**ker.'
Sims then reportedly 'loses it' and shoved his food and threw his drink at the manager before being asked to leave the store and is offered a refund.
Sims allegedly says: 'No, you're not going to give me an f**king refund, you're going to give me my f**king food and my money back.'
The manager asked to have Sims being handed a criminal trespass notice and was not allowed to come back to that McDonalds. Sims appeared visibly tense and asked officers multiple times if he was 'under arrest'
He told officers he was 'scared' of them before he took off running. While police were preparing the document, they had asked dispatch to run Sims name and he allegedly became agitated by what he heard
Sims had an arrest warrant out for him for a 2018 murder, where he allegedly lit a car on fire that had a dead woman in it
Officers tasered him after they found him in a nearby residential parking lot. A resident called police to report a man was trying to break into his third-floor apartment
'I don't ever want him back here,' the manager tells the officer. 'The dude's obviously on probation, he has an ankle brace on.'
After the officer returns to talk with Sims again, who is standing with a second officer, he informs the suspected criminal that he will not be allowed to return to the establishment because the business owner holds the rights to refuse service.
'As a business owner, he has the right to not remake your food. He is willing to do a refund,' the officer informed Sims. 'He has no problem doing a refund, but he's not going to remake your food.'
He also informed Sims that the manager requested to write a criminal trespass report, which would be handed to Sims.
'We're not charging you. It's a piece of paper we're going to give you that's going to say: "Hey, you can't come back to this McDonald's." That's all.'
Sims became visibly tense as they explained the process to him and asked if he was 'under arrest.'
While police were preparing the paperwork, they asked dispatch to run Sims' name for a national database, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said. Sims reportedly asked to get inside his girlfriend's white vehicle multiple times.
When the officer asked him to come toward the back of his girlfriend's car to use the trunk as a table to fill out the paperwork, Sims backed up, telling them he was 'afraid of y'all. I did three years, man, I'm afraid of y'all.'
When the officer approached him as he backed away, Sims took off running, leading police on a pursuit.
Officers eventually found him nearby residential parking lot after a resident called police to say a man was trying to break into a third-floor apartment. Police then tasered him in the back, causing Sims to scream hysterically.

He was taken to the hospital before being carted off to jail, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said. He was then charged with criminal trespass, hindering law enforcement, and possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute after finding 31 grams of marijuana in his fiancée's car.
Sims was arrested in 2019 for the 2018 murder of Adelisa Muratovic, who was shot dead. Police believe that Muratovic and her boyfriend Michael Smith and another man Deshaun Flournoy went over to Sims for an alleged drug deal when she was shot, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Police suspect the two men were trying to rob Sims before gunfire was exchanged.
Sims then allegedly got into Smith's car, where Muratovic was shot in, and drove it to Lawrenceville, where he set it on fire.
All three men were charged with felony murder and Sims was arrested in Wisconsin in 2019, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
