MARIETTA, Ga. -- A man says enjoying a Double Quarter-Pounder with cheese as he cruised down a highway outside Atlanta got him in trouble with the law -- and a ticket for eating while driving. Madison Turner of Alabama said the police officer told him he had been eating the McDonald's burger for about 2 miles. "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 said.
