A botched food order Monday enraged a Wendy's restaurant patron so much that she went after an employee with a pink Taser, police said.
The Daytona Beach woman was unable to get a clean shot at the employee and never hit him, police said, even as her friend cheered her on. The two women were found a while later by police and arrested Monday afternoon.
Melanese Asia Reid, 20, who held the small pink Taser according to witnesses, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The woman with her, 23-year-old Katrina Mari-Alyce Bryant, was charged with being a principal to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The incident began just after 10 a.m. Monday as Reid and Bryant got into an argument over the order with the employee working the drive-through. Then Reid tried to slap him, according to the police report.
He deflected her hand and the women got out of the vehicle and came into the restaurant, with Reid carrying the Taser, police said. Reid chased the employee around the restaurant with the Taser.
The women told police they only pulled out the Taser after the employee grabbed one of their arms, and one of the women said they never went into the restaurant.
Reid and Bryant were booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail, with bail set at $5,000 apiece, police said.
