A Kentucky woman is facing charges after allegedly causing over $1,000 in damages at a Little Caesars restaurant in a dispute over a $1 sauce charge. The incident, which occurred on January 24, resulted in 32-year-old Breanna Haynes being charged with first-degree criminal mischief.
According to court documents, Haynes became irate when she was informed that she would have to pay an additional $1 for extra sauce to accompany her meal. Despite already receiving one sauce packet free of charge, Haynes reportedly demanded more without wanting to pay the additional fee.
The situation escalated when Haynes allegedly began to vandalize the restaurant, located on North 22nd Street in Louisville. She is accused of knocking items off the front counter, including a custom-made computer stand and cash register. Following the incident, Haynes reportedly fled the scene. The specific details of her order remain unknown.
The arrest and charges against Haynes came nearly seven months after the incident. The reasons for the delay in the investigation and subsequent arrest have not been disclosed.
Surveillance footage from the restaurant reportedly shows Haynes during the alleged attack. In her mugshot, Haynes appears visibly upset, with what appear to be tears in her eyes.
Haynes was arraigned in court last week, where she faced the criminal mischief charge for causing over $1,000 in damages. A Jefferson County judge has ordered her to avoid contact with the Little Caesars restaurant and its employees.
Haynes has since been released on bail and is due to appear in court again on Wednesday.
