 According to Springtown police, Blount allegedly charged customers for their orders and then tapped their cards on a personal device to secretly add $10–$20 per transaction, routing the money to his own account. 

Authorities believe he took about $680 before being caught. 

Blount was charged with fraudulent use or possession of identifying information involving more than 50 items, posted $30,000 bail, and the restaurant’s owner said his actions did not reflect McDonald’s
