LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- An 18-year-old McDonald's employee was arrested in Louisville early Thursday morning for allegedly pointing a gun at customers. 

Police were called around 1:30 a.m. to the McDonald's at 301 University Boulevard, off of S. Floyd Street. That's where a group of three victims told officers they were in the process of ordering food and "admitted to being a little loud." The employee, Gregory White, then pulled out a gun, "racks the slide" and pointed it at the group, according to the arrest report. 

Louisville Police said White "pulled away and took a swing" with a closed fist at one of the officers before he was taken to the ground, where he continued to resist, briefly placing an officer in a headlock. The officer suffered minor lacerations to his arms. 

Police did not find a gun on White, but he later admitted that he handed the gun to someone else who was no longer at the scene. 

Police also said White admitted to racking the slide of the gun, but said he didn't point it at anyone, but a witness at the scene stated that he did. 

White was booked into Louisville Metro Corrections around 2:15 a.m. He's expected in arraignment court on Oct. 31.
