Chaos erupted at a McDonald's drive-thru when a man allegedly threatened to assault the fast food workers, sparking a police intervention. Officials say Gill Anderson and his accomplice, Taja Ruffin, were detained at the 100 block of E Richey Road after employees reported feeling menaced by Anderson's verbal threats. The incident occurred on January 9, and police arrived swiftly to intercept the duo.
Responding to the call, deputies with Constable Mark Herman's Office were quick to locate Anderson and Ruffin, who had been causing a disturbance at the business. Despite being fearful for their safety, the drive-thru staff members did not encounter physical harm. The investigation that followed unveiled that Anderson, apart from the scare, was wanted on several Class C warrants and also a Felony Forgery Warrant from Walker County.
According to a statement on Constable Mark Herman's official Facebook page, “They were arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail. Gill Anderson was charged with Terrorist Threat and received a $100.00 bond out of County Court 3. Taja Ruffin was booked for the open warrants." The same source informed the public that Taja Ruffin was processed for her open warrants.
Upon deputies arriving, they located the suspect and his companion who were causing the disturbance, the social media post by Constable Mark Herman narrated. Arrested for the direct threat to the staff's safety, Gill Anderson was quick to see the judicial scales tip towards accountability with his charge and minimal bond, while Ruffin's prior legal entanglements caught up with her.
