KINGSPORT, Tenn.-One member of Kinsport CU may think better of expressing his anger at the drive-thru: 68-year-old Harry Boyer, who was "flipping the bird" at tellers in the drive-thru window was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. The member had just left a nearby convenience store where he cussed out employees, then walked through the CU's drive-thru while "giving the finger" to employees." It was all witnessed by an off-duty police officer who called central dispatch to have Boyer was arrested.
