Illegal possession of gun

According to a Memphis police affidavit, she began arguing with employees at the restaurant before brandishing a gun, which she pointed at three workers before driving away. The workers further explained the police that at the Memphis McDonald’s restaurant, red packets are used to serve ketchup and purple packets contain jelly. It is still unclear if Vester placed the right order. She was identified via the surveillance video caught on the outlet's CCTV. Since Vester is under 21 years, it is illegal for her to possess a gun. As per the rules, Concealed Carry is legal with a license or permit in Tennessee, but the minimum age is 21. She is reportedly out of jail on bond and is set to appear in court next Wednesday.
