Upset over the length of time it was taking to get her fast food order, the woman damaged a bathroom door before fleeing the scene.
On November 16 at 4:26 p.m. Deputy S.C. Jett responded to a disturbance at the McDonalds, 545 Ferry Road. The report doesn’t indicate if there was a McRib on the order, but the hangry customer began yelling at staff for not expeditiously completing her order. The nettled nosher went on a full scale temper tantrum, repeatedly slamming the restroom door. The repeated slamming caused the automatic door closer to rip from the door.
The suspect is described as a white female in her thirties with dyed red hair with brown roots, wearing a striped sweat shirt and red/purple yoga pants. She fled the scene in a red Mitsubishi SUV. Deputy Jett has the tag for the suspect vehicle and is working to identify the culprit.
She will face vandalism charges once she is identified.
