Female caught on video tossing cup of scalding coffee on McDonald's manager, who suffers burns



A female was caught on video tossing a cup of scalding coffee on a McDonald's manager in Michigan earlier this week — and the manager suffered burns as a result, MLive reported.

The incident took place Tuesday morning at a McDonald's at 3700 Dixie Highway in Buena Vista Township, the outlet said. Buena Vista Township is a few miles east of Saginaw.

'F**k you, b***h! Catch that hot-a** coffee!'

Buena Vista Township Police Detective Russ Pahssen told MLive that the female manager called 911 saying an angry customer assaulted her.

More from MLive:

The customer had placed an online order and sought a refund for two sandwiches, Pahssen said. Another patron recorded the last two minutes of the interaction at the restaurant’s front counter.

The manager handed the customer a coffee and tried pacifying her, while the customer claimed she had been there for more than an hour, the footage shows. The conversation reaching an impasse, the manager told the customer to have a great day and turned to walk away.

The female customer removed the lid from the coffee cup, threw the contents at the manager, and yelled, “F**k you, bitch! Catch that hot-ass coffee!” as she exited the restaurant, according to video of the encounter without redacted audio.

The video also shows the McDonald's manager screaming after the coffee hits her body.

Pahssen told MLive the manager suffered minor burns; the outlet noted that the coffee burned her back and left arm.

Pahssen shared video of the assault on Facebook and asked the public to help identify the assailant, the outlet said.

“I must have gotten about 100 tips,” Pahssen noted to MLive. “Within about two minutes, we had her identified.”

The following is video of the encounter with redacted audio; the coffee toss takes place toward the end of the clip just after the 1:45 mark:

However, Pahssen said officers weren't able to locate the 48-year-old suspect, MLive reported, adding that police have submitted paperwork to the Saginaw County Prosecutor's Office, requesting she be charged with felonious assault.

Investigators did not name the woman Thursday because she had not been arraigned on any criminal charges, WJRT-TV reported.

Thug forces his way into apartment, attacks elderly resident. But armed neighbor rushes over and permanently ends threat.



Police in Medford, Oregon, said officers responded to a report of a shooting at 18 Hawthorne Street just after 3:30 a.m. Sunday.

The investigation revealed that a neighbor heard and observed a loud commotion outside his apartment, police said.

'Good job neighbor. That's what it's about!!'

Through his window, he saw an unknown male attempting to force entry into the front door of a nearby apartment, which he knew was occupied by an elderly resident, police said.

The neighbor grabbed his handgun and rushed over to assist, police said, adding that once he was in the unit, the neighbor saw the suspect assaulting the elderly resident.

During the confrontation, the neighbor shot the suspect, and the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene, police said, adding that multiple rounds were fired.

The deceased individual has been identified as 32-year-old Martin Uriel Jimenez of Medford, police said.

The neighbor who fired the shots was detained and is cooperating with investigators, police said.

While no arrests have been made, police noted that detectives are continuing to investigate.

Police added that "as is standard protocol in all investigations where deadly force was used and resulted in death, the case will be presented to the Jackson County District Attorney’s Office for review."

It appears that many commenters under the police department's Facebook post about the shooting are squarely behind the neighbor who rushed over to help. The following are but a few of them:

  • "I own the property where this occurred," one commenter stated. "I know all the tenants well. They are all clean, gainfully employed, good citizens. The intruder was unknown to any of them. The intruder was violent, deranged, no pants on, kicked in an apartment door at 3:30am and attacked the tenant inside as he was calling 911. The younger man in the neighboring apartment heard the commotion and came to the aid of his neighbor resident to find the intruder beating the older gentleman/tenant and causing injuries. When the younger neighbor intervened, the random, pants-less, 6’2”, 280# intruder charged at him and was shot by the neighbor in an act of self defense. 100% justified."
  • "That hero better not get charged!" another user declared. "I hope my neighbor would do the same."
  • "The intruder received justice," another commenter wrote. "I hope the neighbor is cleared as it should be."
  • "Sounds like the neighbor saved the resident, don't charge that man for anything," another user said.
  • "Good guy with a gun for the win!" another commenter exclaimed.
  • "Good job neighbor," another user said. "That's what it's about!!"

Pair of punks caught on video chucking chair at cops — hitting one in back of head — during Domino's Pizza brawl: Police



Police in Glassboro, New Jersey, said two males were caught on video throwing a chair at officers — hitting one in the back of the head — during an early Saturday morning brawl inside a Domino's Pizza store.

Police said after officers responded to the large fight around 2:44 a.m. and were making arrests, two black males — one wearing a gray jacket and the other a light blue sweatshirt — "picked up a chair and threw it at our officers, striking one of them in the back of the head. Not only was this intentional, they found it extremely hysterical while they ran from the scene."

'Out of nowhere I looked to my left, [and] there's a chair just flying right down this hallway.'

WTXF-TV reported that the officer who was hit was treated at the scene and is expected to recover.

While police said in their original Facebook post that "we need your help in identifying them," a Monday afternoon update indicates that suspects have been identified.

However, surveillance video showing the brawl — including the moment the chair was thrown — is no longer on the police department's Facebook post. Also no longer visible on the post are the four still images of the two suspects.

Police did indicate in their 1:30 p.m. Monday update that a "news release will be made available when feasible."

RELATED: Girl, 15, accused of throwing chair that clobbered teacher in head, knocked her to floor, and sent her to hospital is arrested, charged with felonious assault

A Domino's employee interviewed at the scene told WTXF that "there was so much chaos up there ... just a bunch of people, like, throwing punches at each other, even at my co-workers. ... I saw ... one girl turn around and just deck another girl in the face. Out of nowhere I looked to my left, [and] there's a chair just flying right down this hallway."

Glassboro is about 40 minutes south of Philadelphia. The station added that the Domino's Pizza store is located near Rowan University, which also is in Glassboro.

As you might expect, a number of reactions to the incident weren't exactly sympathetic to the brawlers and chair throwers. To wit:

  • "These MFs need an old-school ass whooping," one commenter wrote. "Maybe I am better off out the game now. S**t is ridiculous nowadays."
  • "Time to get rid of no bail and minimum prison sentences," another user said, adding that it's the "only way you're gonna cut it out — or at least cut it down."
  • "They should all be arrested and charged!!" another commenter declared. "The ones standing around watching and recording are no better than the others."
  • "This is disgusting," another user opined. "Absolute animals that need to be locked up."

Cop driving patrol car doesn't mess around when he spots alleged gunman on the run — and reaching for his waistband



Video from police in Fresno, California — newly released Friday — indicates that an officer was on an unrelated call in the area of the River Park Shopping Center on Aug. 20 when he heard gunshots from a restaurant parking lot around 5:30 p.m.

KSEE-TV reported that the restaurant is Ruth's Chris.

'He's reaching!'

Police said surveillance video shows George Ruiz, 18, firing shots at a passing vehicle.

The officer ran toward the sound of gunfire and saw Ruiz running off, police said. The officer then saw the suspect attempting to carjack a vehicle in a shopping center parking lot, police said, adding that the victim was able to drive away.

Police said Ruiz shot once at the vehicle during the attempted carjacking, hitting the car, but those inside the vehicle weren't hurt.

Police said the officer ran after Ruiz toward the Sam's Club parking lot and broadcasted over radio the suspect's description and the direction of the foot pursuit.

After the radio call, two other officers in a marked patrol vehicle spotted Ruiz on the run — and reaching for his waistband, police said.

The officer driving the patrol car struck Ruiz with the vehicle, and the officers arrested Ruiz, police said.

One officer is heard in the below video advising that "he's reaching!" in reference to the suspect going for his gun just before the arrest, police said. The relevant segment begins around the 4:40 mark:

Ruiz was taken to a hospital, treated for leg pain, and released, police said, adding that he provided a statement admitting to the shooting.

Ruiz was booked into jail for the shooting, firearm-related charges, and resisting arrest, police said, adding that no officers were hurt during the incident.

Fresno County Jail records indicate Ruiz was still behind bars Monday afternoon; his bail is listed as $575,000.

Alleged shoplifter caught on video brutally beating 18-year-old supermarket employee who confronted him: 'Senseless'



An alleged shoplifter in a North Carolina supermarket was caught on surveillance video brutally beating an employee who confronted him.

Detectives from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department are working to identify two individuals involved, WBTV-TV reported.

'When we have self-checkouts, it just presents an opportunity for people who are not doing the right thing, thieves, to take items and commit crimes.'

Police told the station the physical attack took place Oct. 20 at the Food Lion in the 2200 block of Park Road in Charlotte.

Two people were in the self-checkout area of the supermarket attempting to steal items when an 18-year-old Food Lion employee confronted them, Detective Ashley Phillips told WBTV.

Surveillance video showed one of the alleged shoplifters speaking with the employee and then walking with the employee into a back room, the station said.

Another surveillance camera captured the attack in the back room. Video shows one of the suspects grabbing the employee in the neck and chest area and slamming the employee against a large container against a wall, punching the employee, and then appearing to stomp the employee on the floor.

Surveillance video then shows the two alleged shoplifters leaving the Food Lion with the stolen items following the beating, WBTV reported.

RELATED: Shoplifters beat up store worker, 60, who runs after them. Then they hit him with car several times; he dies in parking lot.

“It’s unfortunate. Any act of violence is senseless,” Phillips told the station. “When we have self-checkouts, it just presents an opportunity for people who are not doing the right thing, thieves, to take items and commit crimes.”

Phillips added to WBTV that employees who witness illegal activity in the workplace shouldn't attempt to intervene.

“We want to suggest to everyone that is in a store working as an employee, just step back and observe, then collect as much information as you can and call 911 so that way police can respond, and you don’t have to interfere with someone committing a crime," she noted to the station.

Phillips added to WBTV that she's hopeful someone will recognize the alleged shoplifters through the surveillance videos and still images: "They’re very clear. I’m hoping that someone will see it and call it in. We get some good tips, and I’m very grateful for that."

Those with information about the Food Lion incident are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600, the station said, adding that tipsters can remain anonymous and receive a cash reward if they have information that leads to an arrest. Community members can also submit tips about crimes through the P3 Tips app, WBTV noted.

Democrats Choose Supporting LGBT Activists Over Stopping Child Rape

We have yet to find a point at which the left will actually stop its slide down the slippery slope of gay rights.

13 thugs chase, stab, beat, rob teen boy on his way home from school in NYC. They make off with his sneakers — worth $350.



A 15-year-old New York City boy spoke out from his hospital bed this week after police said a group of 13 suspects — also teenagers — attacked and stabbed and robbed him on Oct. 22.

Police said the boy was on his way home from school in Jamaica, Queens, when the broad-daylight attack occurred at the intersection of 160th Street and Hillside Avenue, WCBS-TV reported.

'What happened to my son is horrific.'

With his mother by his side, the victim recounted to the station the words of one of his attackers.

"Give me all your clothes, whatever you're wearing, your shoes," the boy recalled one of the mob members telling him, WCBS noted.

He then told the station, "I [started] running. After that, they pushed me and stabbed me."

The vicious attack left the 15-year-old with severe stab wounds, broken bones, bruises — and needing surgery, the station said.

After all that, WCBS said the suspects stole the victim's sneakers — worth $350.

"I was shocked to see my son in this condition," the boy's mother told the station in her native language of Punjabi. "What happened to my son is horrific."

RELATED: Video: 5 thugs repeatedly stomp, punch boy, 15, on busy NYC street — and steal his sneakers. Crime expert says there's 'basically nothing you can do to these kids.'

Local activist Japneet Singh told WCBS the attack took place on "a major avenue, major corridor" and that "if that can happen to this boy, it can happen to any of our children. We have to make sure we protect our kids."

While the boy has months of recovery ahead of him — including three surgeries — his mother told the station she hopes those responsible are caught. Meanwhile, she added to WCBS that she's not leaving his side: "Ever since he was attacked, I've been here with him day and night."

Police told WNYW-TV that detectives are reviewing surveillance video from the area to identify those involved.

Those with information about the attack are urged to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-TIPS (8477), WNYW said, adding that tips can be submitted confidentially online or by text.

Roses, romance, and a rip-off: Raunchy 'Bonnie and Clyde' reportedly steal from Mon Chéri restaurant — after risqué romp



Burglars not only stole from a restaurant in Arizona but also engaged in "bizarre" sexual relations on the premises, according to multiple reports.

A spokesperson for the Scottsdale Police Department told Blaze News that officers responded to a burglary report at the Mon Chéri restaurant around 10:00 a.m. Saturday.

'It's such a happy and positive place, so the fact that they did that on our establishment is just so disturbing.'

"Employees from the business called the police to report that two subjects were seen on camera around 3:50 a.m. forcing entry into the restaurant," police said.

Mon Chéri restaurant owner, Lexi Caliskan, told KSAZ-TV, "The first thing I noticed was that the whole stand was totally, like, torn apart. There were things all over."

"They damaged my two doors. So two doors need to be repaired or replaced. The actual registers are, like, just torn apart," the owner added.

Caliskan added to KSAZ that the suspects stole $450 in cash, the restaurant's iPhone, and a bottle of Bacardi rum.

However, before the couple broke into the restaurant, they reportedly had sex in a romantic floral display on the patio.

Caliskan told People magazine that the sexual acts were committed in a "romantic spot."

"We have a heart installation there, where our customers take Instagram photos," Caliskan explained, adding that the risqué incident was a "quick interaction" at the eye-catching rose display.

Caitlyn Sorensen, a Mon Chéri employee, told KPHO-TV, "We pulled up the surveillance, and we were disturbed, and who would do that? That's just gross. We don't want that here. And yeah, just, like, 'Why would you do that?'"

Sorenson continued, "It's such a happy and positive place, so the fact that they did that on our establishment is just so disturbing. Like, this isn't the place for it. Yes, we're full of romance and happiness, but that's not what we want here."

Video of the couple near the floral display at the restaurant was posted on the Mon Chéri Instagram page.

The security video was captioned, "Two love birds broke into our restaurant in Scottsdale this morning."

The couple reportedly got frisky in a heart-shaped display made of roses.

Caliskan told KNXV-TV, "They got caught in the moment, there's roses everywhere, maybe it was kind of romantic, but modern-day Bonnie and Clyde."

Caliskan added, "I was just blown away by a man and a woman, what he had done, he ate afterward, then continued to break into the property."

Bailee Turner, the assistant general manager at Mon Chéri, said of the alleged incident, "Bizarre, violating — really just weird."

Caliskan told KPNX-TV, "They violated our roses, and we’re just not OK with that."

The restaurant is asking the public to help identify the burglars.

Police have yet to apprehend any suspects and said the investigation is still active.

Trans-identifying teen agrees to plead guilty to plotting Valentine's Day massacre at high school



A trans-identifying teen accused of plotting a Valentine's Day massacre at an Indiana high school reportedly has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit murder.

Trinity Shockley — an 18-year-old female who identifies as a male — was arrested Feb. 12 after someone notified an FBI tip line that an acquaintance was planning a school shooting, had access to an AR-15 rifle, and had just ordered a bulletproof vest.

'Everyone lives to die. I am a loser.'

The FBI — which ultimately alerted the Mooresville Metropolitan Police Department about the possible shooting plot — investigated Shockley's accounts on the Discord instant messaging app and Snapchat and found multiple correspondences in which the suspect appeared to confirm she had it in mind to shoot up her school, according to the probable cause affidavit.

In one conversation on Discord, Shockley allegedly said she had been planning a "Parkland part two" for at least a year, referring to the Feb. 14, 2018, mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

The affidavit indicated that Shockley confided in her school counselor on Feb. 11 that she was sexually infatuated with Nikolas Cruz — the convicted shooter who murdered 17 people at Parkland — wanted to have his children, and had written to him several times since his incarceration.

During a search of Shockley's family home, police indicated they found what appeared to be a framed photo of Dylann Roof — the white identitarian responsible for the 2015 mass shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina — in the student's bedroom along with other images of mass shooters, including Cruz.

In addition to locating a soft armor vest and ammunition in the house, police found multiple notebooks allegedly belonging to the teen containing damning entries. In one notebook, Shockley allegedly wrote on Dec. 16, 2024, "I am aslo [sic] a transgender male. I have a lot of homicidal thoughts. In all honesty, I want to be just like Elliot Rodger. He is my main influencer along with Nikolas Cruz."

Rodger is a mass murderer who killed six and injured 14 in a 2014 attack near the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Shockley allegedly wrote in an entry dated Jan. 9, "All of these minorities are useless. I bleieve [sic] others dont desreve [sic] to live. Everyone lives to die. I am a loser."

The agreement filed Monday and confirmed by chief deputy prosecutor Cassie Mellady would have Shockley plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit murder — a level 2 felony — and the state drop the other two charges of terroristic intimidation, the Indiana Star reported.

Although a conviction on the single count could net Shockley a sentence of 10 to 30 years behind bars, her attorney reportedly has requested that she serve no more than 12.5 years in prison and fewer than five years on probation.

In addition to having to regularly meet with mental health professionals, Shockley's probation per the proposed terms of the plea deal would be conditional on her prohibition from visiting all Morgan County school properties and searching for any material related to school shootings.

Dakota VanLeeuwen, the Morgan County judge overseeing the case, reportedly has taken the plea agreement under advisement and will issue a ruling on the matter next month.

Mellady told WIBC-FM that Shockley's trans-identification has no bearing on the case.

There has been a rash of trans-identifying mass shooters and would-be mass shooters in recent years.

For instance:

  • a trans-identifying man shot up a Catholic church full of children in Minneapolis on Aug. 27, killing two children and injuring 30;
  • a male-identifying woman planned to shoot up an elementary school and a high school in Maryland in April 2024 but was stopped in time by police — then later convicted;
  • a trans-identifying teen stalked the halls of a school in Perry, Iowa, on Jan. 4, 2024, ultimately murdering a child and an adult and wounding several others; and
  • a trans-identifying woman stormed into a Presbyterian school in Nashville on March 27, 2023, murdering three children and three adults.

Chicago violence: Almost 20 shot — 3 fatally — over weekend, police say



Nearly 20 people were shot — three of them fatally — in Chicago over the weekend, police told WBBM-TV.

The station said the shooting victims' ages range from 18 to 70.

A woman of an unknown age was found unresponsive in an alley behind the 11000 block of South Mackinaw Avenue at 10:18 a.m., WBBM said. She had been shot twice in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene, the station said.

Police reported only one shooting on Friday. It took place just before 6:30 p.m. in the 5500 block of South Lafayette Avenue where police said an unknown person shot a 43-year-old woman on the street multiple times, WBBM noted. The woman was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition, the station said.

The shootings ramped up on Saturday, as police said a dozen people were hit by gunfire — two of them fatally, the station said.

In one of the fatal shootings, police told WBBM that individuals in a red Dodge Charger were traveling westbound in the 4400 block of West Augusta Boulevard just before 5:30 a.m. when they were struck by gunfire, after which the vehicle crashed. The driver, a 37-year-old man, was shot in the back while his 29-year-old male passenger was shot multiple times in the head, the station said. Both victims were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital where the 29-year-old was in critical condition — but the 37-year-old, later identified as Mauro Josemartin, was pronounced dead, WBBM said.

In the other fatal shooting, a 23-year-old man was in a vehicle in the 4100 block of West Jackson Boulevard at 3:10 p.m. when he was hit in the chest by gunfire, the station said. He was taken to Stroger Hospital of Cook County where he was pronounced dead, WBBM noted.

On Sunday, six people were shot, one of them fatally, the station said. In the fatal shooting, a woman of an unknown age was found unresponsive in an alley behind the 11000 block of South Mackinaw Avenue at 10:18 a.m., WBBM said. She had been shot twice in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene, the station said.

Among the nonfatal shootings, four unknown gunmen approached a 43-year-old man in the 1500 block of East 75th Street just before 4 p.m. Saturday and opened fire at him, WBBM said. The man was hit in the ankle area and taken to a hospital in good condition, the station said.

On Sunday, two men — ages 18 and 19 — were in a business in the 100 block of East 51st Street just before 6 a.m. when a man came up and shot them both, WBBM said. The 18-year-old was shot in the upper right leg and transported himself to Provident Hospital of Cook County, the station said, adding that the 19-year-old was shot in the left calf and was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center; both were in fair condition. Police told WBBM that the shooter was wearing a gray jumpsuit and fled east on foot.

Also on Sunday, police told the station that multiple people exited a dark-colored SUV outside a business in the 800 block of East 79th Street around 10:45 a.m. and shot two men, ages 66 and 70. The 66-year-old was hit in the right wrist, chest, and groin, police told WBBM, adding that the 70-year-old was hit once in the buttocks. Both victims were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where the 66-year-old was reported in critical condition, and the 70-year-old was in fair condition.
