PARK CITY — Years ago, the "Fry Guys" in McDonald's commercials would steal the fast-food restaurant's famous french fries, though Ronald McDonald would usually get them back and share with everyone.

But stealing fries in the real world is a crime.

Summit County sheriff's deputies are looking for a man who went behind the counter of a Park City McDonald's, 6450 Landmark Drive, on Saturday. They say he then went into the kitchen area and started eating french fries.

"The individual then took a carton of fries as he walked out of the building after being told he was not allowed to be back there. The individual got into his car and drove away," according to a shift report from the sheriff's office.

Employees called the sheriff's office after taking photos of the man and of the vehicle with a Louisiana license plate as it drove away.
