LOVELAND, Colo. — A long-running argument over a favorite McDonald’s parking spot has resulted in an assault conviction. A Colorado jury on Friday convicted 52-year-old Vernon Brandt of Loveland of felony third-degree assault for a 2008 fight with 85-year-old Richard Albers.
On the day of the assault, Albers walked up to Brandt’s truck because Brandt was blocking the spot Albers has been using almost every morning for 16 years. Albers tapped on Brandt’s door, and Brandt then swung open his truck door, knocking Albers to the ground. Brandt then allegedly got out of his car, grabbed Albers and threatened to fight him. Prosecutors said the men had argued over the spot before.
Sentencing has not been set.

Dwight Howard recently competed against LeBron James for a McDonald’s lunch in a Super Bowl ad reminiscent of the classic Jordan vs. Bird commercial.
It appears Howard’s hunger for McDonald’s has not been satiated. He visited a Dallas McDonald’s on Friday as All-Star Weekend began. McDonald’s asked Howard how he dunks his McNuggets, and the Magic center said that he prefers to “dribble and dip it.”
He’s not the only star athlete to make a McDonald’s stop this year. Chad Ochocinco manned the Golden Arches and tweeted about it afterwards in January.
Scroll down to see pictures from the visit, including a shot of Howard serving an order of McNuggets.
