Barefoot, in pajamas and hungry
By Times Wires
Published January 15, 2008
A 13-year-old girl demanded to have it her way Saturday morning at a Tampa Burger King. Shortly after she was released from a juvenile assessment center, the girl barged into the fast food restaurant brandishing a kitchen knife, police said.
There, in bare feet and pajamas, the teen approached an employee and demanded a burger. She chased him through the kitchen, knife in the air. "Give me a (expletive) cheeseburger now!" a witness reported her saying. Employees detained her until police arrived.
The girl, whose name was withheld because of her age, told officers she was hungry. Police returned her to the juvenile assessment center.
