Police said the situation started at an area Dunkin’ restaurant on Feb. 21.

Gaither started arguing with an employee over her food being reportedly cold.

She received a refund for the order but the confrontation continued.

Officers said Gaither smashed a ceramic tip container and threw food at the employee.

The employee followed Gaither to her car and recorded the incident on her cell phone. Police said Gaither then pointed a gun at the worker.

When the employee told Gaither that she would get the police involved, the woman got out of her car and allegedly attempted to punch her.

Police said the interaction was caught on video and Gaither was taken into custody.
