Police say 40-year-old Robert Oldham entered the restaurant and asked if he could have vegetable oil for use with his hair clippers.
Two employees told him they could not give him the oil because that would be against store policy.

According to police, Oldham stated that he would get his oil one way or another.
Oldham then exited the McDonald's and was last seen fleeing the property on a bicycle.
The employees were not injured in the incident and nothing was taken from the restaurant.
