UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) 鈥� A man charged with fatally stabbing a Popeyes restaurant customer who reportedly had cut to the front of a line for chicken sandwich orders was held without bond after an initial court appearance.
A judge in Prince George鈥檚 County, Maryland, ordered 30-year-old Ricoh McClain jailed without bond Friday.
The Washington Post reports attorney Thomas Mooney suggested McClain was inappropriately charged with first- and second-degree murder in the Nov. 4 killing of 28-year-old Kevin Tyrell Davis. Mooney said McClain 鈥渉as very viable鈥� defenses, but didn鈥檛 elaborate.
Police Chief Hank Stawinski has said Davis cut to the front of the line for chicken sandwiches – a popular new menu item – when McClain confronted him.
Popeyes resumed selling the sandwich Nov. 3 after first releasing them in August.
