His bagel didn’t have cream cheese, so he pulled gun on a police chief’s daughter, cops say

While working her job at Starbucks, the daughter of Miami Gardens’ police chief was allegedly threatened with a gun over an order mix-up — the gunman was given his bagel without cream cheese, police say.

Chief Delma Noel-Pratt told Miami Herald news partner CBS4 in an interview that the experience traumatized her 23-year-old daughter.

“As a mother I am very concerned,” Noel-Pratt told the station. ”Basically, you always know that you could be prone to something like this, however, when it reaches your household you are in total shock.”

Police say Noel-Pratt’s daughter was working her shift at the Starbucks at 19401 NW 27th Ave. around 12:05 p.m. on Wednesday when the altercation occurred.

According to an arrest report, Omar Wright, 38, used the drive-thru to order a bagel and pulled ahead after receiving his purchase. As the next customer was being attended to, Wright walked back to the window yelling and screaming about not getting cream cheese on his bagel like he asked, the report said.

Police say when Noel-Pratt’s daughter tried to help Wright, he told her, “Where is my cream cheese?”

She told him to calm down and asked if he had paid for it, which made Wright “very upset,” police said.

Police say Wright pulled out a black handgun, held it in the air and told her “I hate b------ like you and you don’t know who your f------ with, I’m from Carol City.”

“She felt in fear of her life,” Noel-Pratt told CBS4. ”It was upsetting to me to know that someone would go to that extreme not having cream cheese on his bagel.”

Even though Noel-Pratt’s daughter told police that Wright did not point the gun at her, she said she felt if she didn’t give him the cream cheese, he would hurt her.
