Drive Thru Disaster
There’s nothing especially secret about Dave’s special sauce… but there is something very *special* about turning a Wendy’s refund request into a robbery investigation.
According to Dover Police, what started as a complaint over a fast food order Sunday night quickly became a burgers, burglary, and bad decisions kind of evening.
Police say 33 year old Shadaira Harris and a juvenile purchased food at the Wendy’s on South DuPont Highway before requesting a cash refund because they weren’t satisfied with their meal. Employees reportedly explained that refunds had to be handled through corporate and That answer didn’t go over well.
Investigators say Harris walked behind the employee counter into an area customers aren’t allowed to enter. When an employee tried to stop her, police allege she punched the worker multiple times in the chest before opening a cash register.
The grand total was About $15…
According to police, she then tossed the money out the drive thru window to the juvenile waiting outside.
So congratulations… It’s not A Dave’s Single, or Double… but a tripple Felony.
Police say the juvenile then entered the restaurant, and both allegedly threatened to shoot employees before leaving the scene. Very emotionally regulated I see…
If you thought that was the end of the story Think again. While officers were still inside the Wendy’s investigating, police say Harris returned to the restaurant. Not to turn herself in, Not to apologize, but According to investigators, she came back because she had accidentally left something behind during the robbery.
It was a Baconator Bandit making one last French fry fail. Obviously Instead of leaving with her forgotten item, she left in handcuffs. Harris of Ellendale(if it was Burger King she would sound like rotalty), was charged with robbery, 3rddegree burglary, 2nd degree conspiracy, terroristic threatening, and offensive touching. She was committed to Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution on a $29,000 secured bond.
Police say the investigation into the juvenile allegedly involved remains ongoing.
