A man who made national headlines after throwing a cash register
at McDonald's has been sentenced at Blacktown Local Court for
damage to property.
Jake Sinderberry was alleged to have verbally abused employees
at Kellyville McDonald's as he refused to check in using a QR
code.
The 25-year-old has been ordered to attend counselling for anger
management as part of his sentence.
His case drew attention from national media outlets as well as
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard.
What happened?
Sinderberry attended the restaurant on 9 January 2021
immediately after being refused entry at two pubs due to his
intoxication.
NSW Police initially issued a statement saying the man had been
asked to complete a COVID-safe check-in. All New South Wales food
and drink premises have been required to collect customer details
since 23 November 2020 for contact tracing purposes.
