= The Siege of Applebee's (January 7, 2021) =



The Siege of Applebee's: Introduction
On a Thursday afternoon in Volusia County, Florida, Uncle Terry had seven Applebee's strawberry margaritas by 11:30 AM. Shortly after consuming his seventh strawberry margarita, Uncle Terry had become physically violent with other patrons. One particular patron named Samuel Duck, confronted Uncle Terry and consequently was put through an oak wood table. After seeing this, the horrified bartender notified local authorities. The local Sheriff's Office quickly dispatched two deputies to deescalate the situation. As simple as this interaction with Uncle Terry and the police could have gone, it was far from simple, leading to a fourteen hour standoff between Uncle Terry and the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.

Uncle Terry
Uncle B. Terry was convicted of 13 counts of home invasion in his home state of Ohio. He was once evicted from his apartment after getting in a Miller Lite fueled fistfight with his landlord’s wife’s boyfriend at Buffalo Wild Wings. At the age of 14 he was banned from the Cincinnati zoo for putting Icy Hot on a family of sugar gliders. 2 of the 5 sugar gliders were permanently blinded causing one to suffer a fall so severe it had to be euthanized. As he was being removed from the zoo he drop kicked a security officer and fled into the tortoise exhibit. There were no more significant acts during the “zoo incident”. Terry’s volatile behavior led to him being shunned by his community. Ultimately resulting in him moving to Florida at the age of 22. He settled down soon after his move and lived a somewhat average life. He was employed by a local plumber as an apprentice and worked odd jobs on weekends. He made a handful of friends in his new town and often attended and held barbecues. At one such party Terry engaged in a 15 minute rap battle with Eric Booker, better known by his YouTube persona “Badlands Chugs”. At the age of 27, Terry married a local woman named Shalissa Terry. They were happily married for four years. One night after a long day of fixing sinks, Terry returned home only to find his wife in bed with Læshawn Cook. The man he had meticulously beaten in a fight at Buffalo Wild Wings all those years ago. A prolonged fight ensued only ended when Læshawn slammed a fish tank onto Terry.

The Siege of Applebee's: The Standoff/Assault
After the failure of the two local deputies deescalation attempts, additional officers were deployed to the scene. Upon the arrival of additional officers, Terry decided to fashion makeshift weapons to defend the now empty Applebee's. He then began using chairs and other furniture to barricade doors and windows. Four hours into the standoff, the SWAT team decided to deploy tear gas into the restaurant. Unbeknown to the police, Terry had smoked every substance imaginable thus rendering invulnerable to the tear gas. Following yet another attempt to dislodge Terry form his Applebee's fortress, a police negotiator was selected to talk Terry out. After approximately 10 minutes after the negotiator arrived, Terry began to chant, "I live till I die!" As Terry continued his scream, he picked up one of the sharpened table legs and threw it through the window, striking the negotiator fatally in the chest.

The Siege of Applebee's: Aftermath
The Siege left nothing but a pile of bricks and many dead people. That Applebee's  stood no more and was promptly cleaned of its scrapped remains. All that was left was the Applebee's  sign and a lot full of news agencies and a lot of policemen. Terry was convicted of 13 counts of 1st degree murder, 2 counts of arson, 3 counts of assault on an officer, and 7 counts of assault with a deadly weapon (the frying pan he stole from the kitchen). Terry had picked up 60 years in prison, only to escape from the courtroom when he supposedly had to use the restroom. He remains missing to this day, but rumor has it he is off to start a new life in the Rockies with his wife and possibly kids.

The first two deputies to arrive on the scene made a full recovery and made the following statement once they were released from the hospital; "I've never, ever, in 15 years of policing, have been more scared for my life, than I did that afternoon." The bartender also stated, "no man will ever strike another man with fear as strong as Terry did that day." Applebee's CEO John Peyton said this, "This was eye-opening, one intoxicated man changed the lives of hundreds of people that day. The effort put in by the local Sheriff's Office, SWAT, and ATF is always going to be recognized by  Applebee's ."
