SALT LAKE CITY – A rap by four teenagers at a McDonald’s has gotten them a bad rap in one Utah city.

The teens were cited by American Fork police earlier this week for disorderly conduct after they rapped their order at a McDonald’s drive-through

The teens said they were imitating a popular video on YouTube. They rapped their order, which begins with, “I need a double cheeseburger and hold the lettuce …” once quickly before repeating it more slowly.

Spenser Dauwalder said employees at the restaurant told him and his friends they were holding up the line and needed to order or leave.

The 18-year-old said nobody was in line. He and his three 17-year-old friends left without buying anything.

American Fork Police Sgt. Gregg Ludlow says a manager wrote down the car’s license plate number and called police. The teens were later cited by officers at a high school parking lot outside a volleyball match.

“We thought, you know, just teenagers out having fun,” Dauwalder told KSL Newsradio. “We didn’t think it would escalate to that.”

Disorderly conduct citations are issued when someone does something to cause annoyance or alarm, Ludlow said. The citation is an infraction similar to a speeding ticket, Ludlow said

“It was not just that they were rapping, they continued to hold things up,” Ludlow said.

Ludlow said the teens were asked several times to speak plainly and that ultimately the manager came outside.

The owner-operator of the McDonald’s said in a statement that the issue was about employees’ safety at the restaurant in American Fork, about 30 miles south of Salt Lake City.

“The employee in question felt that her safety was at risk as a result of the alleged actions of these individuals in the drive-thru, not as a result of them rapping their order,” franchisee Conny Kramer said in the statement. “As such, she contacted the local authorities.”

But Sharon Dauwalder, Spenser’s mother, said they will fight it nonetheless.

“We have to,” she told The Associated Press on Thursday. “The citation is there.”

    UTAH that says it all. I cannot imagine someone feeling threatend by a car full of young kids rapping an order at a drive thru window. Especially when every where you go including drive thrus someone you are talking to has an accent and you have to ask them to repeat what they said. I dont call the police cause I feel threatend and sometimes I have to drive to the window to ask them to repeat themselves. If anything it’s frustrating but threatening, naaaah. That broad “manager” didn’t know what else to say cuz the person at the window was most likely a teen anyways. What a waste of tax payers money… Gimmmeee a damn break lady ok!!!!

    GOOD……They should have been arrested. That is one of the problems with young kids today. They are dysfunctional at best. Too much damn rap music has screwed up there brains. The judge should throw the book at them.

    How ironic when about 15 years ago they actually USED rap to market their restaurant. Remember that commercial they had back in the day that rapped the whole menu? Hell, they used to give away a CD of the whole song with a value meal purchase. Even their commercials are aimed at the “urban” environment but when its returned, its “a problem.”

    Don’t get me wrong, they teens should have known better, but I think it’s hypocritical of McDonald’s to utilize rap and what not to market their product but then call the police on some teens who use it in their restaurant.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LUNATIK713/ LUNATIK713

    If I remember correctly back in the day McDonalds had a commercial where dude rapped his order out to the cashier. But this is just a case of blowing something that was meant to be innocent into a negative media story. Now the question is had the kids been white would they have been cited as well and would the employee feel she was in danger?

    how does rapping an order make you feel as though your safety at risk…that bulls**t. annoying and disruptive sure but safety…something stinks…

    Law man 101:

    Arrest: taken into custody of the state, booking, criminal identification and classification, formal charge from a magistrate of the court, bonding, incarcerated for at least 24 hrs.

    Apprehend: held by Police, no formal charges, yes you may receive a citation(s)or writ, a verbal warning.

    Citation: a writ, a ticket, a violation stamp…. Simple SHUT UP and pay the Man!!!

    No one was arrested there, apprehended yes… All were issued TICKETS (M-7), they got a 70 % chance of getting those citations throw out!!! Utah is not the only state that will cite you for annoyance or false alarm, Mich, Ohio, Ind, ILL, AlA, Ark, MA, NJ and Neb. (DOJ F.I.B minor crime stats 2007)…NewsOne ought to receive numerous citations for false alarm, the way they copy a post!!! crying wolf !!!

    I see that the Euro-clowns are at it again…more likely a restaurant full of Utah bigots that “sounded the alarm” when they saw BLACK youths in the drive-thru. And then wrote down the license plate number…for WHAT? The youths broke NO laws. As stated by one of the youths, NO ONE else was in the drive-thru waiting to be service. The racist arse manager jotted down the plate in retaliation for the youths not requesting an order.

    I think that the youths should seek legal redress. And “right on time as usual,” the RACIST and slanted Media sought to make these youths appear to be thugs and criminals.

    ALL blacks should boycott this restaurant. What a bogus charge! To actually follow the youths? And yes, there WAS a prior Micky D commercial where the order WAS given in rap.

    Word to the wise? Blacks DO have a video in your possession when passing throguh this racist state…or if you reside in Utah. These euro-clowns are a piece of work.

    Once again BP looks stupid ! Not just the writer but the people on this site. These kids were not arrested they were cited, so change the title. Funny how the dumbies on BP like phazex female and Lunatik713 assumed they were black. The article never specified race or showed a picture of the kids cited. Utah ! what else do you expect. I swear this site has some of the most ignorant people I have ever seen. Why not focus on being a productive member of society and stop playing the race card.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kai_Graphics/ Kai_Graphics

    Disorderly? Yea. They were. Enough to have the cops called out? Don’t know. I wasn’t there. Teens being teens? Absolutely! I personally find myself wondering why it was so important for these 4 teens to insist on rapping their order rather than the fact that the cops were called and they were issued tickets. I know I would not have taken them seriously. Truth be told, they were acting dumb. Yea we need more black folk acting like this. I agree with a post a few down. The worker felt threatened by their rapping? Her life was in danger? Well…… I know I don’t like bad rapping myself so maybe she has a point. Otherwise….. threatened? That does not compute. I guess what I’m saying is if you act dumb, whether Black, White, Mexican, Asian, etc…. be prepared for the consequences. I wonder if McDonalds will come to their rescue and give em a Big Mac coupon or something?

    airforce87@….Why should the judge throw the book at teens for rapping a order because they black? When I go to McDonald’s on weekends the white teenagers hang out inside and out some playing rap music in the parking lot carrying on and making a lot of noise,Also drinking but no one dare call the police on them that’s a bunch of crap. That’s wrong to call out one group of teens for a harmless rap order. I wish I knew who that employee was who called the police I’ll slap her damn face.

    Please tell me that someone isn’t on this forum calling someone else a dummy and don’t actually know how to spell it (the word dummies) correctly, say it ain’t so, please!!! Anyways, if the kids left, why not drop it?!?!? Why run and get the license plate number and call the police??? If the employee did in fact feel threatened, why not call the police to begin with?? And, why did the police issue this so called citation with such lack of evidence???? Surely there are more important crimes to deal with?!?!? Oh yeah! The race card is always an issue, don’t act like racism don’t exist.. It happens every second of every single day…

    Parents of children of color,especially in Utah, need to tell the story… The story is you know you can’t do anything you want to do. YOU’RE BLACK. I’m sorry but it is the truth. I see white folks doing all kinds of antisocial behavior that they consider “harmless teens having fun”. Nobody arrests them. Let our kids do that and it’s a safety issue. I’ve lived in Utah as a teenager (went to Clearfield Job corps)they aren’t used to black kids and they don’t want to get used to them either. They aren’t just predjudice to other races, they are a Mormom state they don’t like anybody who isn’t Mormon. Don’t get me too twisted I’ve met some really nice people in Utah who are not of color and who are Mormon. But if you’re black you will not find too many jurors of your peers in that state. So don’t go there “playing” Watch yourselves.

I DON’T CARE WHAT RACE THE KIDS ARE THIS WAS RACIST AND STUPID AND IGNORANT FOR SOME TO GET IN TROUBLE FOR. IF IT WAS SUCH A NUSIANCE SHOULDA JUST IGNORED THEM OR SOMETHING AND I HIGHLY DOUBT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE IT WITH ALOT OF PPL OUT THERE.

    why are most of you assuming that the teens were black and this was an act of racism? you all who are assuming are being ignorant by not getting all of the facts. the teens were not black. why must everyone assume that everything dumb that happens and with seeming unfair treatment, that the perpetrators are black. as a black people, we need to stop assuming and become knowledgeable. we also need to stop blaming everything on racism. i’m not stuck in a state of oblivion and i understand that it still exist, but not everything done to a black person is racist! victim mentality…not good!

    there is a difference between teens being teens and hooligans causing trouble. if the employee doesn’t know the difference then she should find another line of work.

    So it says that they were CITED for disorderly conduct. Does News One understand what a citation is? It’s basically a ticket. The same way you might get a noise citation if your party is too loud. They don’t say anything about any handcuffs, no Miranda rights, no trip to the police station. So where the hell was the arrest? Another BS story courtesy of the expert journalists at News One.

    News One has demonstrated over and over again that they aren’t capable of serious journalism – it’s like a ghetto version of the National Enquirer. They take black people acting silly – and sometimes getting trouble for it – and completely exaggerate everything to make it look like there was some legitimate black journalists everywhere.

    Unbelievable! There are some areas where you cannot walk down the street without seeing a drug dealer, drug addict, or being approached as if you’re a prostitute. Not to mention the un-seen, such as home invasions, murders, and child abuse. I guess rap lyrics are much more of a threat than any of those.

    First off, this article only says they were CITED not arrested, why do the editors feel the need to lie on the titles? LAME

    Second, this crap isn’t funny or cool. it’s freaking annoying. The youtube video guy is annoying. At least for him, the lady working sounded Black and probably thought he was annoying but wasn’t paying him enough mind to call the police.

    Those workers aren’t there for entertain, they are there to work and even if there was no one else in line, they shouldn’t have to put up with games and trying to make out their order when the person ordering is acting like a fool…

    that’s kind of sad and a bad reflection on the individual(s) if the only thing they have constructive to do is bs in a fast food line…

    there must not b any action in that town cause were i come from police have more bigger problems to worry bout like REAL CRIMES not some kids rapping an order an i seen the clip on youtube u got to give it to them that s**t was funny as hell. an mcd just made a vidio bout taking a girl out to eat at mcd’s so wats the difference between that ooooooooo ya mcd’s got paid for the rap next time some1 tries to rap at the drive thru we will give mcd’s 2 cents off the track. white people aint got s**t to do but put some kids in trouble with the law for a stupid rap order at the drive thru. its hard for people to get jobs let alone a job with a stupid record like that. then ya wonder y ur kids r out stealing an selling drugs. cause wen they do stupid s**t like a rapodre at the drive thru u get the same problems court. an i do think it is racial thats y they called the cops if they did it in country music ya would of thought it was cute but since it was a rap it was bothering them grow up its just kids having fun i know we u were a kid u did stupid things an u didnt get citated

    @ BlackDiamond 184:

    “Once again BP looks stupid ! Not just the writer but the people on this site. These kids were not arrested they were cited, so change the title. Funny how the dumbies on BP like phazex female and Lunatik713 assumed they were black.”

    Black or not, there was no need to call law enforcement…and then to actually FOLLOW the youths to ticket them? There was “no harm, no foul.”

    Regarding your comments? “Phuck YOU and the horse that you rode in on.” You hold the dictum on NOTHING for you ARE nothing. You got that?

    First, It seems that they were CITED not ARRESTED. This distinction is very important. Also, Mc Donald’s isn’t the best job to say the least. I think the last thing those people want to deal with is some kids playing games. I’m sure it was very annoying. It’s best that Newsone stays in beta, because their sensationalism is very similar to FOX news. We don’t need another Fox News.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MRSHurst1925/ MRSHurst1925

    First, let’s take note this happen in Salt Lake City, Utah. Second, we all probably should not eat the high cholesterol food anyway. But, I believe teenagers are just that teenagers white or black. Teenagers will do anything for a laugh. I hope this citation will not affect them later in life. Many people with traffic violation and other things may have a hard time getting jobs in certain areas ie. criminal justice. If it were my son or daughter I would try to get the citation removed. As far as Salt Lake Utah MCDonald please lightin up a bit.

    First of all, I don’t care what color you are, but if you come into a place of business acting a damned fool then you deserve to get kicked out and cited. Secondly, this was not a racist issue, and as a black man I’m tired of some of us always playing that race card. Third, “Queen 2529″, you are an idiot, and obviously lacking in character and home training to say the things you said about the girl because she works at McDonalds. How do you know she’s not working and going to school, or holding down a second job? And should it matter if a person works there as opposed to wearing a suit and tie to their “career” job every day?! Sick of you high and mighty, boogie-a-s black women anyway. Go eat a d_ck and choke you bit_h!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cestleon/ cestleon

    I could understand the annoyance, but to cite these teens was going a bit to far. They did this for safety reasons? Hmmmmm……so if they were to bring a guitar and sang like Toby Keith would they have been as “threatening”? This would happen in “Mormon country”. That sect still preaches and practices the whole “hamitic curse” thing anyway. They had to change some of their very antiquated laws to garner the Olympics a few years back. I would cite racism, but they really overreacted. It must be very boring over there!

    man i dont even know all the facts and i can tell you that this is a race issue. the teens said it them selfs, they were having fun, they repeated it again slowly and they were the only ones in the drive thru line. so some one please tell me im wrong here…… go ahead read the article again and tell me im wrong ill gladly apologize and move on.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kendrakelly/ kendrakelly

    What does race have to do with this? These teens were playing around in a drive-thru window…and to top it off, they didn’t even order anything. They were cited for disorderly conduct. Which, according to the officer, “is cited when someone does something to cause annoyance or alarm”. By the way, these kids were white….

    This sooo stupid. Thats why i hate UTAH. I mean really was it that serious to cite these young people. They were probably trying to help bring customers to that old shack. And it sure is a race issue. I know that because i lived out there for only a few months. White people want utah to stay white and full of mormans. As perfect as you wish your state was, it isnt. Utah is a raceist, crack state. Never seen so many people on crack. Thats why i moved!!!!!

    I think Smiles, and yes I looked at your profile before responding, that you need to learn to read and absorb what you’ve read before you just go off about racism. I don’t see racism here, and the people involved where white, not black. This was a case of having fun but also not thinking about the consequences of what could happen. I also think that management and the server in question, feeling she was being threatened, was a joke.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cadestayfocus/ cadestayfocus

    Seventy-five percent of Hip Hop music is consumed by teenage white boys. The boys should not have been arrested but Hip Hop music is as Wynton Marsalis called it, “modern day minstrel music”. Hip Hop is the continuation of the minstrel show. The genre has become one for the petty, vain, arrogant, superficial, shallow anti-intellectual closeted homophobe that degrades women in a nutshell. In my opinion most rappers just want to be teenage and white anyway.

    Some white people will buy more of anything that degrades black people

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mrlosa/ mrlosa

    First off they were not arrested! they were given a TICKET. Second it don’t matter if is was rap, rock, country or the blues if someone came to your job while you are working and started joking around instead of conducting business you’d get pissed off too. The employees should have kicked there asses. But anyway KEEP THE BEASTIE BOYS AWAY FROM MC donalds!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Im2_blessed/ Im2_blessed

    I think that they were just some teens having fun. They probably seen the old rap that the McDonalds use to have and decided they would try it. I do not see it as really an issue dealing with race. After all the youngmen were white. Rather there was a long line or not, there is just a time and place for everything. Obviously according to management they had the wrong time and place to pull their stunt. They were not arrested which I feel wouldve been going a bit overbaord. I would just say they were made a prime example out of. The next teens whie,black,hispanic, or whatever will know not to do that at a place of business. I feel our youth today just miss out on so much of the wisdom that was given to some of us by our grandparents. The thought that this was agains the law probably never crossed their minds. If it had been someone working that they knew or something or even if they had purchased an item things may have turned out different. I think it may have taught them a life lesson.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/whozdatladyE/ whozdatladyE

    The issue appears to me that the manager and employee of the (UTAH)Mcdonald’s thought that these “white” boys were black because they were rapping their order. Otherwise why would they take their license number down and the “Utah” police track them down and ticket them when they did move on after their (“We thought, you know, just teenagers out having fun,” Dauwalder told KSL Newsradio. “We didn’t think it would escalate to that.”) went awry. Now they will fight it in court and they will win because they are “white” in “UTAH”. Compare this to the “black honor student at the Walmart who got arrested for cutting the line”. And they are still trying to throw the book at her and add resisting arrest after they assaulted her in front of witnesses. She has been fighting her (trying to catch the shorter line at Walmart) incident three years. Talk about excalating incidents. Pray for all of our youths who are not really committing crimes to learn that being mischevious after they grow is no longer cute it is a crime.

    Double Standards , I could say clearly race was involved.But you know what how many times did they rap their order ? After the first time they should have just ordered regularly instead of pushing for what they saw on youtube.Again it could be double standards but it could be that they rapped their order too many times.
