Waffle House customer shot after complaining about service
MANNING, S.C. — A South Carolina restaurant employee has been arrested and accused of shooting a customer who complained about the service.
The Clarendon County Sheriff's Office says Yakeisha Ward, 29, of Manning is charged with assault and battery within intent to kill.
Deputies say Ward worked at a Waffle House restaurant in Manning and was involved in a fight about 4:30 a.m. Sunday.
Lt. Tommy Burgess says the fight started when the customer complained about the quality of service in the crowded restaurant.
Ward went to her van to get a gun, Burgess said, and a 27-year-old woman was hit in the arm when Ward fired as those trying to break up the fight pointed the gun to the ground and a bullet ricocheted. The woman's name was not released.
It was unclear if Ward had an attorney.
