<p><strong>TAMPA</strong> — A 34-year-old Florida man was taken into custody Tuesday after attempting to purchase a Big Mac meal by offering the drive-thru cashier a sandwich bag of marijuana. When informed this was not acceptable payment, he reportedly argued that &#8220;thoughts and prayers should count for something&#8221; before driving to the first window and waiting for 20 minutes.</p> <p>Police found him asleep in the drive-thru lane with his turn signal still blinking. Officers noted that the suspect had also ordered a large Sprite and seemed genuinely confused about why his payment method was rejected.</p> <p>&#8220;He kept insisting it was legal tender in his mind,&#8221; said Officer Rodriguez. &#8220;That&#8217;s not how currency works.&#8221;</p> <p>The man faces charges of possession and causing a traffic hazard. The McDonald&#8217;s drive-thru was backed up for approximately 45 minutes.</p>
