Tl;dr: 75-yo old woman attacks the employees over a sandwich, rips hair from one of them, put that hair in her purse, calls the police and dies.

At that point, two other employees intervened, and as they were pulled apart, a “chunk of hair” was pulled from the shift lead’s head, “leaving a raw area.”

Once separated, the employees got behind the counter and Grayson sat down, taking a phone call. She was seen picking up the shift lead’s hair and putting it in her bag, police said.

    That really sounds to me like there was some underlying health issue and the customer lost absolute control of herself as she succumbed to it.

      That may be the case, but there are countless videos of people committing felonies in restaurants/fast food chains because someone made a mistake on their order. There must be a lot of underlying health issues in the US 😆

        Didn’t we literally just have a headline that 90%+ of US adults do not seek healthcare because they can’t afford it?

        There’s something called Penrose’s law: the prison population plus mental care population is a constant. So a country that doesn’t take care of mental health needs to handle it as crime. Pretty simple when you think about it, but the dude had stats to back up his assertion.

        Living in the US is a health issue lol, especially mental health, especially if you have too few decimal places in your bank account.

      Yep, that’s exactly the conclusion prosecutors reached if you read all the way to the bottom.
