According to reports, a Florida Burger King employee was in police custody after shooting at a drive-thru customer during a dispute that included the customer throwing mayo at the employee.
After what police are describing as a verbal dispute, Shateasha Monique Hicks, 30, allegedly opened fire on a customer after the man threw packets of mayo at her through the drive-thru window. Witnesses say Hicks ran to her vehicle and grabbed her gun before letting off at least five rounds at the car.
“He was making faces at her through the car window, out here in the road, and that’s when he pulled in here and that just set her off,” the witness told WPLG News. “She started jumping up and down, ran outside and started shooting at him. He took off after that and then she got in her car and followed him.”
Hicks fled the scene in her car before authorities arrested her later that day. Her car was found abandoned roughly a mile away from her home with the gun in the car’s floorboard.
She is currently facing a single charge for discharging a firearm in public.
