Casharra Brown allegedly throwing hot coffee on a McDonald’s manager in Michigan (Buena Vista Township Police Department).
In Michigan, a McDonald’s manager became the target of a customer’s wrath when a steaming cup of coffee was thrown at her, reportedly due to a mistake in the breakfast order, as confirmed by law enforcement.
“There were certainly better ways to handle the situation,” remarked Detective Russ Pahssen from the Buena Vista Township Police, in a conversation with local CBS station WNEM. This statement came about a week after the incident was captured on cellphone video and quickly gained widespread attention online.
In the video, the suspect, Casharra Brown, is purportedly heard shouting, “Catch that hot a— coffee!”
Following this, Brown allegedly continued with, “F— you, b—!”
The Buena Vista Police Department later posted the video of the incident on Facebook, seeking assistance from the public to identify Brown. This appeal led to numerous tips, culminating in the issuance of an arrest warrant for Brown last week, the police reported.
She was still being sought as of Tuesday evening.
“We will be requesting that she gets jail time out of this,” Pahssen told WNEM.
The manager allegedly told police that the female customer had ordered some breakfast sandwiches and coffee on the McDonald’s app. She came in to try and get a refund, the manager says, despite there being no name given on the app.
“It was just left blank,” Pahssen recounted, noting how a dispute broke out.
“The lady came in and tried to return two sandwiches,” the detective alleged. “She wasn’t happy about the breakfast sandwiches, and that’s when they continued to argue. And next thing you know coffee was being thrown.”
Pahssen said the employee suffered minor injuries, leading to a misdemeanor assault and battery warrant being obtained for Brown’s arrest. He told WNEM that he had never seen a case like this in his 22 years as a law enforcement officer.
“Once it goes through the court system, we’ll see what happens when she goes to court,” Pahssen said. “But we will be requesting that she gets some jail time out of this.”
