Footage has emerged of a Georgia sheriff calling police when a Burger King restaurant allegedly messed up his order.<\/p>\n

The incident was caught on bodycam and shows Craig Owens Sr summoning deputies to the outlet in Cobb County – located in the Atlanta metro area.<\/p>\n

It happened in March 2023, but the footage has just been released on Facebook by David Cavender, his rival for sheriff in an upcoming election.<\/p>\n

The video appears to show the deputies racing to the scene with their lights and sirens on.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Owens asks them to get the name of the store’s owner or manager so he can make an official complaint, as the “food was wrong”.<\/p>\n

Staff had reportedly refused to swap the order and locked the door due to fears for their safety.<\/p>\n

One clip shows the sheriff sitting in his car telling the deputies: “I want to order her [his wife] a Whopper with no mayo, cut in half, right?”<\/p>\n

“I’ll get all the names I can,” one of the deputies tells him.<\/p>\n

They gain access to the locked Burger King and the video later shows them handing over a piece of paper with names on.<\/p>\n

“You didn’t tell him who I was, did you?” the sheriff asks.<\/p>\n

His rival for the job, Mr Cavender, claimed the footage showed an abuse of power and a waste of police resources.<\/p>\n

In a statement reported by local site WKTC, Sheriff Owens denied that claim and said it was a matter any citizen had the right to report.<\/p>\n

“I was not in my uniform, and at no point in my interaction with the staff did I identify myself as a member of the law enforcement community,” he said.<\/p>\n

“At no point did I indicate my position, nor did I ask the responders to do anything that they would not, had not, or have not done for anyone else who makes a business dispute call.”<\/p>\n
