A man who bought a Quarter Pounder with Cheese at an Atlanta-area McDonald's drive-thru said he was surprised when got something extra as he pulled off from the restaurant and began to eat his burger.

The something extra was a citation from a Marietta (Ga.) police officer, and it was issued for 'eating while driving.'

According to a story from WSB-TV, Madison Turner said he was pulled over a few blocks from the restaurant by a police officer who told him he had watched him eat the burger as he was driving down the road.

"The officer explained to me that he observed me eating a burger for two miles," said Turner who is from Alabama. "He said specifically three times, 'You can't just go down the road eating a hamburger.'"

Turner was cited under a law aimed at curbing distracted driving.

"Maybe I was enjoying the burger too much; I needed to tone it down. I was certainly willing to do so, but I didn't expect to be fined or punished," Turner told the station.
