A woman who was caught on camera allegedly attacking a McDonalds manager in Santa Ana has been arrested, police announced Wednesday.
Police say Mayra Berenice Gallo, 24, had just finished ordering in the drive-thru of the McDonalds restaurant in Santa Ana, when she went into the restuarant through the employee entrance and began asking employees for more ketchup.
When the manager told Gallo she couldn't be in the employee area of the restuarant, the woman allegedly became enraged, and "became combative," pushing, and choking the employee, police said. Surveillance video showed the confrontation that included Gallo allegedly shoving the manager's head into a drink machine.
A second employee attempts to intervene and called other workers there to help, police said.
At one point, the fight moves toward the drive-thru window where one customer can be seen waiting in his vehicle for his order.
A man wearing a gray hoodie who is believed to have been with Gallo, rushes into the restaurant to help escort her out the back door.
According to a new release announcing Gallo's arrest, police received a number of tips from the public about the woman seen in the video, which led them to obtaining a $15,000 arrest warrant for Gallo.
Gallo was booked on suspicion of assault.
