A messed-up drive-thru order at a Detroit restaurant escalated into a violent brawl involving hot grease and a stabbing, leaving an employee in emergency surgery and two sisters facing attempted murder charges.
According to Click On Detroit, the incident happened on May 30 at a fast-food restaurant on the 17100 block of E. Warren Avenue. Prosecutors say 29-year-old Brianna Long and her 26-year-old sister Kierianna Long became angry after getting the wrong food in the drive-thru.
Instead of just asking for a refund, the sisters allegedly went inside the store to confront a 23-year-old worker. According to courtroom reports, the argument quickly spun out of control. Prosecutors claim the sisters shoved their way behind the counter, chasing the employee through the kitchen and tossing pots and pans at her. During the chaos, one of the sisters reportedly picked up a pot of boiling grease and hurled it at the worker’s head.
Trying to defend herself, the employee threw a knife toward the two women. Prosecutors say Kierianna Long grabbed that same knife from the ground and stabbed the worker in the stomach. Bleeding, the employee managed to run outside and hide inside a car, where she called the police. Paramedics rushed her to a local hospital for emergency surgery.
The sisters fled the restaurant but were tracked down and arrested shortly after.
Their defense attorneys, however, are pointing the finger back at the worker. The defense claims the employee was the actual aggressor who threw items at the sisters first. According to their attorneys, the worker sparked the physical fight after telling the women she didn’t “give a f—” about their wrong food order.
Brianna Long was nine months pregnant during the fight and actually gave birth just days after being taken into custody.
Both women are currently locked up. Brianna Long’s bond is set at $25,000, while Kierianna Long is being held on a $50,000 bond. They are scheduled to face a judge on June 17 to answer to charges of assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, and assault with a dangerous weapon.
