May Avenue in Oklahoma City is well-known for its numerous fast food restaurants and local businesses. However, workers in the area have raised concerns about a specific Wendy’s location, claiming that it poses a significant safety risk.
Dalton Kennedy expressed his frustration as he recounted the incident, stating, “They not only caused extensive damage to our property, but they also went as far as hurling our monitors.”
Kennedy, a store manager at Wendy’s on NW 36th and May, shared her insights with News 4.
Oklahoma City Police have arrested Derrick Jackson, Jerome Mayfield, and Misty Vannoy for assaulting workers and causing damage to property at a Wendy’s establishment two weeks ago.
Kennedy recounted, “I took a blow to my face.”
In addition, he mentioned that someone else had experienced the unfortunate incident of having a cookie display case thrown at them.
The suspects engaged in a confrontation with individuals from another vehicle that had pulled up alongside them, as per police records.
“I approached him and made an effort to defuse the situation, urging him to refrain from causing any trouble,” Kennedy explained. “We then proceeded to serve him his meal.”
Kennedy recalled that just five minutes later, the situation escalated dramatically when one of the men forcefully entered the premises demanding a refund. He alleged that their order was incomplete.
Kennedy recalled hearing screams coming from the front counter and immediately approached the situation. With a calm demeanor, Kennedy explained to the individual how they could obtain a refund, should they desire, by following the appropriate procedures.
According to Kennedy, they completely destroyed all the equipment, including monitors and printers.
According to court records, all three suspects have a criminal background.
Misty Herrin had a prior conviction and was serving a suspended sentence of 15 years for first-degree manslaughter.
Derrick Jackson and Jerome Mayfield both have felony charges on their record.
Working in an unsafe environment while trying to earn a living can be extremely stressful, as Kennedy pointed out.
“I’m just 21 years old myself, and now I have to handle the situation where 15 and 16-year-olds are scared to come to work tomorrow because of what they had to endure,” Kennedy expressed.
