TOLEDO, Ohio -- A woman throws a tantrum, punches two McDonald's employees and smashes a drive-thru window because she couldn't get Chicken McNuggets.
NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS from CNN.
Security video released Monday shows the 24-year-old woman lose her cool early New Year's Day.
Melodi Dushane was at the Main Street McDonald's drive-thru window at 6:30 a.m. Jan. 1, 2010. That's in east Toledo.
An employee told Dushane they stopped selling McNuggets four hours earlier.
There was a verbal argument.
Dushane got out of her vehicle and punched the drive-thru employee in the mouth.
Brenda Goucher, Dushane's friend, said the employees were calling Dushane names before the assault.
Goucher said she no longer goes to that McDonald's because they get her orders wrong and mistreat customers.
"You get back home, and there are no fries. You go back up there, and she's going to argue with you about it," Goucher said.
The McDonald's manager then walked over and also took swings from Dushane and attempted to pull Dushane through the drive-thru window by her hair, according to police.
It became a kind of window tug-of-war, with Dushane on one side of the window and two to three employees on the other.
The video shows Dushane screaming and trying to break the glass.
"If someone dragged me by the hair, I'd be furious," Goucher said.
Dushane next grabbed a bottle from her vehicle and threw it through the glass drive-thru window before taking off.
Dushane's defense attorney, John McMahon, said Dushane suffers panic attacks, which are heightened when drinking.
McMahon said Dushane was shocked by the security video because she didn't remember the incident.
Dushane received two months in jail and a year of probation. She also was ordered to pay for the broken window.
