EUSTIS, Fla. (TND) — Police and paramedics showed up at a Denny's restaurant after "several staff members" were pepper-sprayed, and the cook's ex-girlfriend, who is his young daughter’s mother, ended up facing criminal charges.

That suspect, later identified as Lakeisha Marie Harris, drove off before officers arrived on the evening of April 2 in Florida.

Her arrest report said she was trying to call the father “while he was at work,” but he “was busy with several orders, so he could not answer the phone.” And then she showed up.

The manager told the father that Harris “was causing a commotion in the restaurant.

“[The father] left the kitchen to meet with Harris at the server station and she yelled at him about their daughter [name] three years old. “Harris attempted to pepper spray [the father] and with his quick reflexes, he turned around and got sprayed on his neck and back area. “Other employees got sprayed as well,” and worse.

According to the arrest report, the manager confirmed “Harris had been there before, causing trouble by yelling at other servers and [the father]. “This time, she yelled at the servers and pepper-sprayed the other employees in an attempt to get [the father]. “[The manager] said he got pepper-sprayed in the right eye, but he did not require medical assistance,” and did not want to press charges. He just wanted her never to return.

A 68-year-old waitress “who got the spray directly in her eyes and was hurt,” wanted to prosecute. She told police she “got it in both eyes, which caused her a lot of pain.

“[The waitress] could not provide a sworn written statement at that time due to the effects of the spray, [and] after [she] was treated, a family member drove her home.” Police added, “There were traces of spray located on the refrigerator at the server station where Harris deployed the spray.” Officers finished at the restaurant and went to Harris' home.

The arrest report said, “I made contact with Harris and asked what occurred at Denny's restaurant earlier that evening.

“Harris stated that she went to Denny's to talk with [the father] and that was it; nothing else happened.” That’s when she was arrested and the father “arrived shortly after to pick up” the daughter.

Harris, 34, was charged with battery, and battery on a person 65 or older.

She spent two-and-a-half days in jail until her release in lieu of $5,000 bond.

What about raisin’ a ruckus?

"Causing a commotion," "raisin' a ruckus," "initiating an incident," "asking for an affray."

We are stuck with people who if they feel they have “dissed” believe they have the right to respond to you in any way, up to taking your life. And oddly it is a rarity that a person lacking in pigmentation feels dissed to the point of physical violence……well rare in respect to those with more pigmentation.

People like her are a curse to polite society. Sorry, but they're just not worth all the courtesy we treat them with.

It’s a good thing that Fellatia Felonia Smif here wasn’t charged with shenanigans.
