What are we doing? >> [ __ ] What is she doing? >> Stop. >> Stop. >> Oh my god. No. I'm going to call the police. >> Call the police. >> Call the police. >> On November 17th, 2024, a normal day at Panera turned into chaos nobody expected. A spilled coffee and a tense couple escalated into viral drama, pulling cops into the mess. What began as a minor disagreement quickly spiraled into battery charges. Watch the video to see how a coffee spill went from zero to full-blown legal nightmare. >> We got contact with the other individuals. Hi, Alexandra. >> Hi. >> How's it going? I just got to have a couple of words with you real quick. Okay. >> Sure. Go ahead. >> Okay. >> So, here's the situation. Okay. So yesterday you had an incident in there. Correct. >> Right. Okay. >> So due to that there are charges for battery that are placed against you. Okay. >> Against me >> against you. Okay. So what I'm going to have to do is I'm going to have to place you under arrest for battery. That being said, I would be more than happy to read your Miranda rights now before I do any other further questioning. >> Are you good with discussing this in front of your husband? >> Of course. >> Okay. Fine. Okay. You're trying to arrest me. >> So, the person that you made contact with yesterday, >> did you know what he did? >> I watched I watched the video because there's videos of it. Okay. >> Right. >> There's videos of it. And then we also have video footage of the female manager who had video recording inside the Panera. Okay. So, per their manager and per the video that we watched. Okay. It shows you as the initial progressor. Okay. I didn't do anything. I I I just just he he he just just just, you know, stepped in front of me and I said, "Well, I I I don't like what you're wearing." >> Okay. So, again, we have more than we'll be going back to the PD and I will have more than we'll have a further discussion on it. Okay? But if you don't want to speak further, I can read you Miranda rights now and then we can do it again at the PD. If you don't want to give any further statement on it now, that's fine. Bud, >> can you can you say what what what actually happened or what the video shows? >> So, the video shows an altercation between your wife and the male party who is in between his wife who was recording your wife due to her actions that happened at the panel. >> No, her wife was was recording. >> Recording you. Yes. Correct. >> So, I said stop recording because I'm talking to him. I didn't attack her. I I didn't I didn't have her. I didn't >> Did you attempt Did you attempt to grab the phone? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, she's allowed to record you. It's a public area. It's as unfortunate as it is, you're allowed to record people in a public area. Okay. So, you can't be grabbing people's phones. Okay. >> I didn't. >> I understand. Okay. So, again, just for the sake of everything right now, I'm going to read you I'm going to read you your Miranda rightites. >> Okay. After that, we are going to be placing you under arrest for battery. >> Okay. What? What do you mean? >> This kung fu grandma thought she could escape consequences after throwing a fit. But the cops arrived like an uninvited surprise party. And cherry on top, she acted completely shocked like she had just been born yesterday. When she finally admitted her actions, her excuse getting triggered over a hoodie was almost laughable. >> We're going to be placing you under arrest for battery disorder. >> What does this mean? >> Okay, so in the state of Illinois, a battery is anything No, no, what what mean to arrest? I'm I'm going to go to jail. >> So, you transport you. We'll be transporting you to the Jonesboro Police Department or you will be booked and processed. Okay. That doesn't mean that you're going to jail. Okay. But it does mean that we do have to take you back to the police department. We have to go through the procedures that we have. Okay? And then a state's attorney will decide what happens next. Okay? >> So, I'm just right off the bat, you have the right to remain silent. during point2. >> Okay. Do you understand the rights that I've read to you? >> Yes. >> Okay. I just need an acknowledgement on I understand that you're saying that but do you understand the rights? >> No. I I really I I will in layman's terms just in regards just in regards to this. In layman's terms, okay, you have the right to an attorney. Okay. You do not have to give a statement. Okay. And you have a right to an attorney and that attorney can be present with you when we go back to the police department. >> How do I get attorney? You know, I I never was in in the in the problem with with the law. >> So, if you do not have an attorney, >> he you know, this guy attacked me and and >> if you don't if you if she doesn't if you do not have an attorney, we can find an attorney for you >> right now. >> If you know of an attorney, if you would like. >> Well, does she need one? >> That is up to >> because you started talking and you still didn't tell me what exactly happened. What does the video show? >> The video shows that your wife attempts to take a phone from a female. The husband of that female gets in between them because she does he does not want her to be taking the phone at that point. >> He was between us. He he was all the time. >> And I understand that because he did not want you taking his wife's phone. Okay. >> There was a small tussle because in the video it shows you looking like you're about to throw coffee, >> but I didn't. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Okay. The coffee was not spilled on that person. >> Right. However, >> the coffee boot was spilled on me. >> However, however, after you had the tussle with the coffee, you made contact with the left side of his face. You swung at his You swung at his face. >> He He did because he threatened me. Did Did she show you that? He Yes, he he said, "I'm going to hit you. I'm going to hit you. I'm going to hit you." >> You said several times that you were going to hit him. >> No, I'm going to hit you. >> Okay. So again, that's essentially what happened. She made contact with the left side of his face. Okay. >> No, I I want to see that video because I I was so nervous that I I I just don't >> And that's fine. You have a right to see that video. I'm just telling you from what we've watched, >> that is what happened. Okay. And the video and the manager of the Panera who reviewed their video footage informed me that you were the one that started the altercation between the two. Okay. Her husband didn't exactly lower the bar. He stood by like a supporting actor in a bad sitcom. Watching his wife lose it in public didn't phase him. Instead, he played along, boosting the absurdity. The audacity of both could give any reality TV star a run for their money. >> My main question at this point, because I read you your rights, I want to make sure that you understand. Okay. >> Here, you know, just for sake of transparency, I have the video. This is on social media. This is on a app called Reddit. Okay. So, I'm gonna This is just from the beginning of what they did. >> The phone I I I >> see. Oh my god. >> Because he poured coffee on me. What did I do? >> Well, like I said, I'm just showing I'm just showing you you all this just in the sake of full transparency. This is publicly available on multiple social media. >> Great. Great. >> Let's see what they did. let people see what they did. So, so he he he's targeted because he he put coffee on me and and then I said, "Okay, it's not worth it. I'm not going to have trouble with some terrorist." >> Why would you call that person a terrorist? >> Because he he threatened me. So So I I see he pushed me again. But do you see that that he kept pushing me? >> I understand. But the problem is is this whole incident was provocated by them alleging that you and pardon my language but this is what they claim you said that you walked up to them and said Palestine because they had the word Palestine on the back of their jack uh their shirt. That is what provocated this. That's what would make this you the primary aggressor on this. >> Then I say why you making this political statement killing the Jews. >> But the point the point being is that's what started all >> they can say kill the Jews and and we cannot say >> I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with that. We are not taking any political stance on anything that's happening right now. The only thing that we are here to discuss is the battery that occurred at Panera. >> So you you you you see that that he was he was pushing he was pushing me all the time. If if he would just just let me go it it it would just be over. >> So again I I >> freedom of speech, right? There is freedom of speech in this country. So So they can say, I can say >> and again I'm not taking anything away from your civil rights. I'm not saying anything against their civil rights. The only thing that we are here to discuss right now is the battery and disorderly conduct that occurred at the airport. Okay. The reason I read you Miranda rights is because if you do >> are you going to arrest him? That that is my question because he he was he was actually charging at me. I I just said I I can send what whatever I want but but he was charging at me and he said, "Yeah, I'm I'm going to hit you. I'm going to hit you." I I felt threatened. He he he he terrorized me. >> So at what time did he say he was going to hit you? >> Because if it was during that video >> Oh, she I'm I'm sure she she she got rid of this. I I was I was wondering if that's why I >> So did that occur prior to you pointing at them and saying what you said or did it happen after the fact in between? after after um you know at at some point we were already you know like like in >> even after watching the recorded video she was still playing the classic victim card. The funniest part she claimed they were terrorizing her. Meanwhile, she was the only terror at Panera that day. On one side she was giving her life's best performance as the victim and on the other the cops were bending over backwards trying to cuddle her like she was some kind of queen >> in disagreements. So I just, you know, he I don't know exact moment, but but but I I I I know we were like in um I think he I don't know if it was before or or after he poured the coffee on me, but but but he he threatened me. I I I swear I mean it doesn't matter. >> So again, I just want to clarify because I want to make sure that it's for our purposes and for the purposes further. Did you understand what I explained? >> I did. >> Okay. Can you explain it to her so that way she would understand it? >> Well, don't say anything anymore. You read the rights that you have the right to the attorney and you don't have to say anything whether you guilty or not guilty. You don't have to say anything. Okay? Because they're going to use everything against you. >> Injustice. >> Well, it is injustice obviously, but that's how they do stuff. So, >> so again, I've read you your Miranda rights. I will do so again once we get back to the police department. Okay. At this time though, okay, whatever belongings that you do not want coming with you, I suggest you leave with your husband. We will then have to place you under arrest and we will be taking you back to the police department. >> Can I go with her or >> you can go to the PD? You can't go with her in one of our squads. But you're more than welcome to go to the station. >> You would just have to drive there yourself. I can't we can't take you in the squad. >> Oh, I always wanted to. >> Where is Where is Where is the police station? So, it's at 850 Curtis and Downer Square. If there's anything that she doesn't want brought there, she can leave it with you and then we will place her under arrest. We'll take her back to the police department and then you can either you can follow us to the police department or you can meet us there. >> This is this is >> I will I will follow since I can go with you guys. >> This can I can I get dressed to you? >> You can get dressed. Unfortunately, your wife has to sit here. I we will wait until you get back. >> Yeah. Why don't you give your husband your purse? I mean, you don't need it. >> I do need it. >> Okay, that's fine. If you want to bring >> If you want to bring it. It's just like I said, it's just if it's extra stuff if you don't want >> Well, then doesn't she need like ID and stuff? Because then you're going to ask for ID and she won't have ID. So, then you're going to say like, "Oh, you have already have her identification." >> But if if if you bring your purse with you, we have to search that entire purse and all its contents. >> So, I'm just trying to help with your privacy. >> So, if you don't want us to go inside your purse, >> you can bring your wallet and your phone if you want. That's fine. And then leave the rest of our policy at the department. If she brings a bag, we >> So the So the people basically copied the license plate. That's how this thing started. I mean, how did they know her name and address and everything and suddenly four cops show up here? >> So we were able to get her information um >> via our computer. >> Okay. But computer is not so smart. Somebody had to input the information in the computer. So I'm asking >> So a third party person, a third party person informed us of her information. Of >> course. Okay, let me let me >> Yes, go ahead and get changed. >> All right, so ma'am, we do have >> Her guilt couldn't be hidden. Body language spoke louder than any words. The full-blown Karen vibes started to fade as reality sank in. Consequences were unavoidable. Deep down, she knew she'd screwed up, but denial made it funnier to watch. The tables had officially turned, and this was no rehearsal. >> Put you in handcuffs. Okay. >> We won't we will not put you in the squar car until your husband returns if that'll make you feel more comfortable. Okay. But for for the purposes of this incident >> for for the Did you arrest him? I I want to see him arrested for for for what he did. I still have coffee on on my I was looking at this. My my hair was wet, but was my face. >> I know. had you not had you not made the comment that you made >> and kept on going on with it >> because he he he if he wouldn't react, you know how many people attack me, okay, because you have silly accent or something. So I I'm going to go after them. >> I can't make any comments on that, man, because I'm not in your shoes. The only thing that we can make comments on are what we know. And if what you're telling me is the truth, that if someone makes fun of your comment and you or your your accent and you don't do anything about it, I applaud you for your restraint. The problem is is in this situation, you were the one who made the initial contact between that couple and yourself by the comment that you made and that devolved the situation into where we're at now. >> Okay. I hope it's not. I know that you're doing your job, but this is crazy. I did touch so what we're going to do is to make it more comfortable for you, I will cuff you in front. So, it will not be behind your back. It'll be in front. Okay? So, the other officer here will hold on to your property. >> Okay? >> And just put your hands kind of like that. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Put this stuff in your pocket. We have to hold on to it because we've had people call and record with phones in the past. So, we have to put the stuff in the front of the car. >> Well, so what's wrong if she's recording is if she got recorded at Panera and you're saying it's it's perfectly legal. So, it's like double standard now. >> Well, we're actually recording in the car itself. But again, it's just our policy that the stuff the front of the vehicle or the rear of the vehicle, not with the person that's in the vehicle. So, I'm not going to go looking through any of this. I'm not going to try to unlock your phone, nothing like that. It's just going to go right into the front seat of my partner. So, sit tight real quick cuz I'm going to double lock this so they don't tighten on you when you're sitting inside the vehicle. Okay. >> Wow. >> Oh my god. Where's my phone? >> I have it right here. Right here. >> We will allow you to talk to your daughter as soon as you get to the police department. Okay. This is so unch. >> And just so you know, man, there's a camera on in there. >> That's good. That's good. I'm not do going to do anything. I'm not a camera. >> At the end of the day, her dumb moves landed her in the cop car, complete with crocodile tears. Things could have gone differently if she had just kept her cool and tried to act like a normal person instead of judging everyone around her. But nope, her drama played out in full and now she was paying the price for every ridiculous move she made. She was charged with two counts of hate crime and one count of disorderly conduct.
