A St. Louis County jury has found a man guilty in a 2019 attack that left a McDonald’s manager without an eye, according to Fox 2 Now.
Kendell, 38, was convicted Thursday of first degree assault, armed criminal action and misdemeanor property damage. Fox 2 Now reports he could face up to 30 years in prison.
The case goes back to January 2019 at a McDonald’s on Olive near Woods Mill in Chesterfield, Missouri. Fox 2 Now reports Kendell went to the restaurant after his daughter was fired earlier that day. Reports say she was let go over her language in front of customers and not wearing the proper attire. Kendell claimed the manager shoved his daughter out of the restaurant. Video from the restaurant reportedly shows the manager stumbling and bumping into her by accident.
About 90 minutes later, prosecutors say Kendell returned with a garden rake taken from near a dumpster. The manager was sitting in his car on a work break when Kendell smashed the car windows and hit him with the rake.
“A weapon was used, a rake,” said Sam Alton, chief of staff for St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell. He said the manager lost his eye and called it a very dangerous crime.
Sentencing is still to come.
