On Monday, police were called to a Wendy’s on Commerce Parkway for a report of suspicious activity.
Investigators said that Jesse Stover had asked to be given a law enforcement discount for his purchase.
Witnesses told police that Stover quickly flashed a gold-colored badge to the Wendy’s staff and demanded the discount again.
The staff members denied his request and they started arguing.

During the argument, Stover said he was not a police officer but worked for the Drug Enforcement Administration as an undercover agent.
Investigators said Stover was a regular customer at the Wendy’s and had been asking for the discount for more than two years.
