A Michigan woman was caught on video launching hot coffee at a McDonald’s manager following a heated dispute, authorities report.
The Buena Vista Police Department released footage on social media depicting a woman engaged in a verbal confrontation with a manager inside the McDonald’s. The video culminates with the woman seemingly tossing coffee at the manager as she exits.
The Buena Vista police confirmed to Fox News that the suspect has been identified as Casharra Brown. The manager involved in the incident has chosen to remain anonymous.
This altercation unfolded on Tuesday, November 4, when Brown placed an order via the McDonald’s app but failed to include her name or payment details with the order.

Brown was unhappy with the two sandwiches she had ordered and began to speak with the manager. The fast-food worker offered the irate customer a coffee in an attempt to calm her, but Brown was not satisfied, according to authorities. The argument then became heated.

The video appears to show Brown removing the lid from the cup and throwing the hot coffee at the manager just as the manager turned and began to walk away.
Brown hurled obscenities at the manager and left the building as the fast-food worker screamed in pain, according to the footage.
