A man faces up to five years behind bars after being accused of walking out of a McDonald's without paying for a $1 cup of soda.
The sheriff's report said around 10pm last Thursday Abaire entered the restaurant and asked for a drink of water.
A manager told police that staff handed him a courtesy cup, which he then filled up with soda from a fountain machine.
During a conversation with the manager, Abaire refused to pay for the soda, valued at $1, and refused to leave the premises.
