Daniel Willis Taylor, 40, (pictured) has been sentenced to 60 days in jail after video showed him attacking a female McDonald's employee because he didn't get a straw
A Florida man who grabbed a female McDonald's worker by the collar because he couldn't find a straw was sentenced to 60 days in jail.
A Pinellas County judge also ordered Daniel Willis Taylor, 40, to stay away from the restaurant and the workers he attacked in the December 31 incident, which was caught on video.
Taylor was credited with the 58 days in jail he already served. He also must pay a $1,000 fine.
Taylor, who is listed as 'transient' on court documents, is subject to a mental evaluation and treatment and will have to pay $1,000 in fines or volunteer almost 120 hours of community service.
Authorities say Taylor became irate when he couldn't find a straw on New Years' Eve and lashed out at worker Yasmine James.

The video showed him standing at the counter, and screaming at James, 20, before grabbing and holding onto her shirt collar.
She responded by hitting him several times. At the time, the Tampa Bay Times reported that Taylor kicked another worker while being escorted out.
He had been charged with two counts of simple battery for the shocking altercation that he initiated.
James received an abundance of love and support online from friends and strangers as to how she managed the situation.

In the video that went viral, Taylor grabs James by her shirt collar and nearly drags her across the counter.
But she soon resists - pulls him back, then frantically punches him in retaliation.
People in the background are heard as they ask for the police as the woman pummels the man and demands that he 'stops playing with her.'
A coworker appears to try to pull the woman off the man but her grip is tight.

He rushes over to Taylor and manages to separate the two. The irate employee also screams obscenities at her assailant.
At that moment, the manager comes over to 'assess' the situation and asks the customer what was wrong with his order.
As the woman calms herself down and looked for her phone, a battered Taylor screams: 'I want her a** fired.' The employee was not fired.
But the woman quickly retorted: 'No, you're going to jail!'
Kinie Biandudi, one of the witnesses who filmed the shocking altercation and shared it on Facebook, posted an update on the matter Wednesday afternoon.

The shocking altercation brought on by the middle-aged man was said to have started over a straw
Biandudi said: 'The employee was not fired! This really did happen last night for all those asking me... it all started because he wanted a straw!!!'
The witness added that the employee, who is seen in the video throwing punches at the man to defend herself in the New Year's Eve attack, used to to be a boxer.
Taylor then asserts that he was simply asking a question before adding 'b***h' as the clip comes to an end.
The transient was detained on New Year's Day and booked at the Pinellas County jail, according to court documents.
Taylor - who is between 5'7" and 5"8 and approximately 160lbs - is being held on a $1,000 bond and was also found to have owed a $11 commissary charge, jail records have indicated.
The West Virginia native was instructed to stay away from the victim and the eatery.
On Facebook Tuesday, a woman believed to be Taylor's mother posted that her son had been 'homeless for sometime' and 'hasn't been able to find a job.'

Daniel Willis Taylor, 40, (pictured) has been sentenced to 60 days in jail after video showed him attacking a female McDonald’s employee because he didn’t get a straw
A Florida man who grabbed a female McDonald’s worker by the collar because he couldn’t find a straw...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
