A Colorado man held a gun up to a Burger King drive-thru worker when they wouldn’t accept a baggie of drugs as payment — and was ordered to serve more than 143 years behind bars, officials said.
Eugene Robertson, 40, was sentenced Thursday for the drive-thru incident, which spurred a series of crimes Robertson carried out in the Denver suburb of Aurora on Oct. 17, 2022.
After pulling the gun on the fast food worker, who told police he was scared he was going to be killed after turning down the baggie of drugs, Robertson walked into a 7-Eleven across the street and pointed a gun at the head of the store clerk, the Sentinel Colorado reported.
Robertson then noticed a surveillance camera was in the store and shot at the screen before fleeing. As he ran out of the store, he shot at two people in the parking lot, the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office said.
