FLORIDA MAN ARRESTED AFTER ALLEGEDLY BREAKING INTO A WAFFLE HOUSE AT 3 A.M. TO MAKE HIS OWN HASH BROWNS BECAUSE THE COOK WAS "TOO SLOW" GAINESVILLE, FL — Authorities arrested Wyatt Cody Pemberton, 39, on Saturday at 3:14 a.m. after he allegedly hopped the counter of a Waffle House on Archer Road and began cooking his own hash browns because, according to his statement, "the cook was moving like he had nowhere to be." Witnesses say Pemberton, wearing a navy tank top, basketball shorts, and one Crocs sock combo, tied a clean apron around his waist before grabbing a fresh bag of frozen potatoes out of the walk-in freezer. According to the police report: - Pemberton reportedly waited 19 minutes for his All-Star Special before announcing to the entire dining room "I been polite, I been patient, this ends tonight" - He allegedly fired up the grill, asked another customer how she wanted hers, and shouted "scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, I got you Brenda" - A waitress, identified only as Miss Charlene from the night shift, recorded the entire breach while saying "he's PLATING, he's actually plating, he just hit the bell" - Pemberton allegedly served three other customers full plates before officers arrived, including one regular who tipped him $4 and said "honestly best service tonight" - Officers recovered the apron, a partially eaten hash brown ticket marked "FOR ME, NO ONIONS," and a Post-it on the grill that read "tell Marcus he's fired, signed Wyatt" Sergeant Boone Crittenden, a 25-year veteran of the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, addressed reporters at the scene. "In twenty-five years patrolling this stretch of 75 I have arrested folks for stealing from a Waffle House. This is the first time I have arrested a man for working at one. I am going home." He didn't break a window or take a single dollar from the till. He just tied on the apron, hit the grill, and gave Brenda the best 3 a.m. of her week.
