MUST WATCH! Happened today at Turkey Hill located on Columbia Ave in Lancaster, PA. 03/31/22 at about 12:50PM. This guy stuck stickers on a gas pump, got yelled at by a clerk for doing so and went crazy afterwards. Shout out to Manor Township Police Department, East Hempfield and Manheim township for handling the situation quickly and correctly! The guy admits he stuck the stickers there, he ‘chased after the camera’ and got to where he is now…The build up was just him yelling and flipping out at the clerk for him putting the sticker on the pump. Enjoy.
In the first video, you can see a commotion on the ground as a police officer arrests a man in a gas station parking lot. The man periodically yells things in the video, saying he needs a “lawyer for this S***.” In the beginning of the video, he points to a gas station pump and says, “I did this.”
The second video shows multiple officers putting the combative, swearing man into a squad car.
A man wrote on the comment thread, “Biden stickers? What is the location address? I’ll swing by and add some on the pump.” Phillips told that man, “in fact was Biden stickers but dude got REAL upset when told not to put them on there.”
