Cops: Armed with stun gun, woman chased worker over botched order
MAY 17--Angered that drive-thru workers at a Wendy's botched her order, a Florida woman stormed the Daytona Beach restaurant this morning and tried to tase an employee with a stun gun. Melanese Reid, 20, reportedly became enraged after fast food workers failed to provide her with the requisite number of mustard and mayonnaise packets. After Hill and Katrina Bryant, 23, argued with drive-thru employee Jason Hill (and called him "bitch" and "faggot") Hill "told them that they were childish and to leave," [according to a charging affidavit](http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2010/0517102wendys2.html) prepared by cops. Reid then attempted to slap Hill, but the worker was able to deflect her hand. At that point, witnesses told cops, Reid and Bryant exited their red PT Cruiser and entered the Wendy's. While inside, Reid, armed with a pink Cheetah brand stun gun, chased Hill "around the kitchen/employee area of the restaurant with the Taser turned on and making the 'electric' noises." For her part, Bryant "cheered [Reid] on" while continuing the previous argument using "profane and discriminatory language." After Hill escaped, the women fled when a Wendy's manager announced that she was calling police. Reid and Bryant were arrested early this afternoon and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a felony. The stun gun was recovered from one of the women's purses. While Reid denied ever going inside Wendy's, Bryant contradicted her pal's claim. Bryant told cops that after Hill released Reid's hand at the drive-thru window, Reid entered the restaurant and threatened the worker with the handheld stun gun.

I moved to Florida for 2 months looking for a better job / life, lasted 2 months before I said FUCK YOU FLORIDA, packed up back to buffalo. Florida sucks, the cities suck, roads suck, culture sucks, and most importantly the people are rude and lack any sort of depth and customer service
Interesting, a police department is acknowledging that tasers are, in fact, deadly.
This will probably speed along innumerable wrongful death lawsuits regarding taser deaths where the defense has generally been to try attribute the death to ‘excited delerium’.
Suppose this is the death knell for tasers as non-lethal alternatives.
i went through a wendy’s drivethru a couple of weeks ago and yelled at the bitch because she put my friends fries in the bag upside down. then i asked for some ranch. lulz. all with food in my mouth. i’m rude.
hahahaha. shut your god damn mouth walker. i got a mandarin orange cup! and it’s not the friend you’re thinking of. well, bitches aren’t even my friends anymore.
