Video After The Jump
Toledo, OH (WTVG) -- The woman who attacked a McDonald's drive-thru worker made national headlines. Now you can see the attack for yourself.
The woman wanted McNuggets from a McDonalds in Toledo which was only serving breakfast. She reacted by punching the drive-thru worker in the mouth and shattering the drive-thru window.
It all happened around 6 a.m. New Year's Day at the east side McDonalds at the corner of Main and Front. Surveillance video, released today, captures the assault as it unfolds. The woman in the car is Melodi Dushane, 24 years old at the time.
The video doesn't have sound, but it appears Dushane and the employee get in a verbal argument before it escalates. Dushane gets out of her car while another worker tries to close the window. She punches that woman in the face and continues yelling. At one point, she even appears to lift her leg to attempt to climb in.
When the first employee returns, Dushane hits her too. That woman grabs a hold of Dushane's hair, but she lets go. It then takes three McDonald's employees to slide the window closed while Dushane continues to try and keep it open.
She then starts ramming her elbow against the glass, goes back into her car, and emerges to throw a bottle through the window before driving off.
Last month, Dushane got 60 days behind bars and three years probation. She also has to pay McDonalds more than $1,500 for the damages. She apologized to the court, and her attorney says she was drinking the night of the incident and suffers from panic attacks, which she blames for leading up to the attack.
The McDonald's employees, on the other hand, managed to keep their cool. In the video they can be seen calmly handing food through the window to the next customer.
