Man Arrested For Giving A Child A Face Tattoo At A Local McDonald’s Laurens County Detention Center

A South Carolina man was arrested after he allegedly gave a child a face tattoo while at a McDonald’s in the town of Laurens. Authorities were alerted to the incident by a fellow customer who uploaded a video to social media, with investigators eventually identifying the unlicensed “artist” as a man named Brandon Presha, Fox News reports.

  1. Presha didn’t care that everyone could see what he was doing. In the video, taken August 5, Presha could be seen wearing eyeglasses, gloves, and a mask as he used a professional tattoo needle on an underage boy at a table in the middle of the McDonald’s branch. The woman filming the clip could reportedly be heard threatening to “call the godd*** police” in the background.
  2. He was arrested and charged pretty quickly. After police caught up with Presha and reviewed the clip, they charged him with illegal tattooing since he’s not licensed as well as tattooing a person under the age of 18. Of course, he won’t spend much time behind bars as, according to the South Carolina Code, these are only misdemeanors punishable by a fine of $2,500 and a maximum of one year behind bars. However, he’s currently in custody at Laurens County Detention Center with bond set at $25,000.
  3. McDonald’s has released its own statement in response to the incident. “In our restaurants, nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our customers & employees,” a spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News. “The conduct reported is not in line with the values of our organization or in line with our expectations for how restaurants should be run.”
  4. This wasn’t the first time Presha has had a brush with the law. According to The Smoking Gun, Presha pled guilty to felony assault and battery, a charge that appeared to be minimized as it was originally “assault/attempted murder.” While he was sentenced to three years in prison, a judge allowed him to suspend the sentence and gave him two years of probation instead.
