A Florida man is accused of trying to pay for his McDonald's drive-thru order with a bag of weed.

Anthony Andrew Gallagher, 23, is said to have driven off after being denied his food because he didn't have any money to pay for it.

But he returned again a while later to make a second order - to pay for it with drugs. Police in Port St. Lucie say they were told about Gallagher's alleged offer of marijuana in the early hours of Sunday morning.

A worker at the fast food chain reported the offer, giving cops a description of the Port St. Lucie man.

They say a suspect matching his description went through the drive-thru again at around 2am and police approached him.

Gallagher was arrested on Sunday on charges of marijuana possession and driving under the influence.

It's unclear if Gallagher attempted to pay for his order with drugs the second time. It's also unclear if he has a lawyer.
