Employees and witnesses said the woman threw her drink through the drive-through window, then got out and began punching the window when employees shut it.

“The employees returning to the window were greeted by a black handgun pointing at them,” records show.

Deputies went to the house where the car was registered and, looking through a window, saw a man and woman hide. Eventually they opened the door but the man took off running and had to be tackled.

The 19-year-old woman accused of pointing a gun at the fast-food employees was found hiding in the attic.

She pleaded not guilty Monday to second-degree assault and was ordered jailed in lieu of $75,000 bail.
