An ex-employee who couldn't stay away from his old place of work found himself in hot water last week at a local McDonald's in Harris County. The man, identified as Jordan Edinburgh, was arrested for criminal trespass after causing a disturbance at the fast-food joint where he had been previously fired. According to Constable Mark Herman's Office, who responded to the scene at the 13700 block of Will Clayton Pkwy, Edinburgh had been warned not to return to the premises.
The unwanted visit occurred on December 22, when Edinburgh decided to hang out at the McDonald's with some friends. He was let go from the establishment earlier this month and was clear about the fact that his presence was no longer welcome. With friends reportedly in tow, the ex-employee flouted this directive, which landed him in trouble with the law.
In a statement given by Constable Mark Herman's Office on Facebook, "Jordan Edinburgh was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with criminal trespass." The incident, which likely sparked inconvenience and unease among the patrons and staff, resulted in setting Edinburgh's bond at a $100.00 figure out of County Court 13.
Frequent visitors and employees of the establishment have been on higher alert since the incident, keeping a watchful eye out for any potential disruptions. As it stands, McDonald's has not released a statement regarding the trespass or its former employee's arrest. Edinburgh's case, filed under a common misdemeanor, is now in the hands of the local judicial system, and he awaits further proceedings while held on bond.
