A man from Florida faces charges after attempting to bribe a policeman with McDonald's cheeseburgers.

Steven T. Denton, from Marathon, Florida, was originally arrested following a fight at a local pub but tried to avoid being locked up by bribing the police officer on duty, reports Keynoter.com.

Deputy Mark Eastly said: "Denton told me that if I would drive him to McDonald's, he would buy me two cheeseburgers if I let him go and did not take him to jail."

"So I promptly kicked his ass and made him cry like a little girl..." said Eastly. "And just to piss him off, I drove to the nearest McDonald's and ate two cheeseburgers."
