Source: KFC employee claims he's a deputy, threatens to arrest boss to get weekend off
ALBANY, Ore. – A man who works at a KFC restaurant in Albany claimed he was a Benton County sheriff’s deputy and threatened to arrest his manager in an attempt to get the weekend off.
According to police, the 30-year-old KFC employee claimed he had a second job as a Benton County deputy. On Wednesday, he told his manager he had to volunteer with the Albany Police Department over the weekend and asked for time off.
A police report says the KFC manager didn’t believe the employee was a deputy, so she asked him to provide a photo of his work schedule and the name of his supervisor.
The employee told the manager he’d have to retrieve his computer from his car to provide proof, the report says.
When the employee returned, he brought handcuffs and said he was going to arrest the manager for violating a government code. He claimed his Benton County sheriff's supervisor authorized him to do this and told him to quit the job at KFC, the report says.
When the employee pulled out the handcuffs, he was asked to leave. The manager called police and officers later arrested the employee for impersonating a peace officer.
