One woman ended up in the hospital after a trip with her sister to an Oklahoma City Popeyes turned violent.
Teonna and Karvonnie Wilson went to the Popeyes on NW 23rd Street to grab a bite to eat after running errands. After the sisters placed their order in the drive-thru, they noticed that the employee at the window was someone they previously had problems with.
"She was like 'What if I don't give y'all's money?' I was like 'You're going to give me my money," Karvonnie told KFOR as she recounted the incident.
When the sisters pulled out of the drive-thru, they said the employee chased down their car and then things got physical. It's unclear if the sisters or the employee started the fight, but then the restaurant's manager got involved.
The sisters say the manager started hitting them with a wet floor sign, but the manager told Oklahoma City police officers that he was trying to break up the fight.
"I know that they had a beef already and they clearly didn’t like one another,” M.Sgt. Gary Knight told the TV station.
Karvonnie had to go to the emergency room to stitch up her injuries. Now the sisters have hired a lawyer and plan on suing the Popeyes location.
The employee has since been fired and faces assault and battery charges. She blames the sisters for starting the fight, claiming that they threw something at her in the drive-thru.
