A woman in St. Louis, Missouri is facing assault charges after allegedly running over a Jack in the Box employee who replaced her missing chicken strip but forgot to put ranch dressing in her bag.
Talanye Carter, 41, went to the Jack in the Box on July 16 and complained about a missing single chicken strip from the order she received from the fast food restaurant the previous Saturday evening, according to a probable cause statement.
The court document says that the store manager replaced the missing chick strip to appease Carter. However, Carter "became unhappy with the lack of ranch dressing provided" and spit in the manager's face, the document continued.
When Carter left the restaurant, the manager used a different exit to document her license plate, according to the probable cause statement. When Carter noticed what the manager was doing, she turned toward her, ran into her shoulder, and said, "You're trying to get charges put on me?"
How did Talanye Carter run over the Jack in the Box store manager?
Carter then entered her car, reversed and accelerated backward into the manager, striking her left foot and ankle and throwing her to the ground, the court document says. Carter fled the scene but was later apprehended by officers with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department on July 17.
The manager's ankle was visibly swollen and bruised from being run over by Carter's vehicle, according to the court filing.
Carter has been charged with second-degree assault (a felony) and fourth-degree assault (a misdemeanor), Missouri court records show.
Carter has remained incarcerated at the St. Louis Justice Center since July 17. She does not have a bond, according to state court records.
USA TODAY could not reach Carter's attorney on Wednesday.
