And guess where the first drive through rage arrest of 2017 took place.

[sprite75]

Yep, Florida

Investigators allege that William Silva, 49, exploded after being "tied up" in the drive-thru lane, which was "backed up" Sunday around 10:30 PM.

Silva, cops say, entered the Clearwater McDonald's (seen below) and started screaming and cursing at employees. After being asked to calm down, Silva allegedly attacked worker Manuel Cano, who was off-duty at the time.

While Silva, pictured at right, denied starting the January 1 altercation or creating a disturbance inside the restaurant, his account of the incident was contradicted by Cano and a McDonald's manager.

Silva was arrested for disorderly conduct and battery, both misdemeanors. He was released from the county jail last night after posting $650 bond. Silva's rap sheet includes convictions for cocaine possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Got this...
