Wright walked back to the drive-thru window and began yelling and screaming when Noel-Pratt's daughter tried to assist him, police said.
Wright started using profanity and brandished a black handgun, then told her he would hurt her, officials said.
After Wright was given the cream cheese he left the scene, but was arrested Thursday on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm and armed robbery with a deadly weapon.
