A woman pleaded guilty and was immediately sentenced Friday to 18 days in jail and 15 days of community service for attacking a McDonald's restaurant manager in Santa Ana after demanding ketchup packets.
Mayra Berenice Gallo, 24, of Santa Ana, pleaded guilty to single counts each of battery and obstruction or intimidation of a business or customers, both misdemeanors.(snip)
Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said Gallo ordered food through the drive-thru lane of the restaurant at 1439 N. Bristol St. about 11 p.m. on Oct. 27. Apparently upset about her order, she confronted the 22-year-old female manager after getting inside through a back door that had been inadvertently left open by another employee.
"She didn't get her ketchup or enough ketchup so she takes it on herself to go through the employee entrance and confronts the manager and the manager says, 'Hey, you have to go outside,'" Bertagna said when she was arrested in November.
At that point, Gallo allegedly "became physically combative" and "pushed and choked" the manager, who reported pain in her elbow, back and neck, as well as a 4-inch scrape on her back, according to a Santa Ana police report.
The suspect, clad in a pink shirt and gray sweatpants, choked the employee until a man -- later determined to be her boyfriend or husband -- walked into the restaurant, "intervenes and takes the (suspect) out of there," Bertagna said.
Police received a "ton" of tips from the public when surveillance footage of the attack was released, Bertagna said, and four tipsters supplied a name. When Gallo was arrested, she was about to get in a car with the man who was seen in the surveillance footage ushering her out of the restaurant, police said.

It amazes me, how some people have such short fuses, how minor irritations of life can set someone off.
Almost all people today dont have enough physical hobbies to get anger and enegy out in a safe channeled way.
This is bound to happen when ketchup is not regulated. I call for common-sense ketchup-control laws.
I would, however, leave mustard and relish alone. Those condiments seem relatively harmless.
You're talking about the entire base of the democRATic party.
Imagined what the gal would have done to the manager if he was wearing a MAGA cap.
Lordy.
Seriously, most of the people who do things like this are likely high on drugs or drinking or both. Or mentally unbalanced or off their meds. Normal people don't react like this gal did.
Her brother apparently was in Alexandria VA today. I was at the Amtrak station waiting for my grandson’s train.
This guy must have missed his train or didn’t have his ticket. He began cursing and screaming at the top of his lungs, then went into the station and banged on the ticket window.
He lunged at a passenger and then an Amtrak worker. They called the cops. The police showing up made him even more angry.
As my grandson and I left, he was in handcuffs being forced into the police cruiser.
Oh, did I mention he was a son of Bronco Bama?
“So....what are you in for?”
“Assault....with ketchup....”

Well I’d be it is against the rules for employees while on duty to
wear non uniform items. 2nd the mgr was a 22 year old female.
She looks like fun.
Jury submits question to the judge - can she make sammiches?
Wonder if she is a 3rd or 4th generation Gallo the wine.
California is loaded with these elite losers, who pull dumb stunts like this.
And the "he" manager was a typo.
You're batting 0 for 2 so far. :-)
Is our society actually crazier or does it just seem that way because of modern media?
There, Fixed It…
Picture 4 doesn’t seem to look like his sister.
Animals come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
Are there MORE violet blacks? Sure.
I guess i was unlucky enough to get assaulted by all races, colors and creeds in my cab :)
Except Asians.
Maybe she was adopted
