Have it Your Way

Tyechia Lorraine Rembert, 33, of York City, Pa., ordered her food at a Burger King drive-through just like any other customer. But after that, according to police, things got unusual. Hiding a crowbar under her jacket to make it look like a gun, she allegedly demanded money from the person in the drive-through window, and then fled.

She is charged with robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, simple assault, reckless endangerment, and making terrorist threats.
