A Laguna Vista, Texas, man faces a criminal charge after investigators alleged he posed as an off-duty police officer while trying to receive a discount at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in McAllen. According to a probable cause affidavit first reported by MyRGV, the encounter escalated after employees declined his request.
According to the probable cause affidavit obtained by MyRGV, the incident began on March 4, 2026, when the general manager of a Chick-fil-A in McAllen contacted police to report that a customer, later identified as 59-year-old Eric Michael Rodriquez, in a white Jeep Wrangler, caused a disturbance in the drive-thru involving two employees.
