An argument over a Taco Bell order became more tense when a customer pulled a gun, Georgia police said.

Officers responded to a call on Monday morning, March 4, about a “report of a person with a gun” at a Taco Bell in Brunswick, according to a March 5 Glynn County Police Department news release. Now, a woman faces charges for the confrontation, according to police.

Lindsay Stansberry went to pick up her Taco Bell order in the drive-thru, but then became “upset” and argued with the employees because her food “was not ready,” police said.

She eventually drove away from the drive-thru window, but before leaving the parking lot, she stopped her vehicle, according to the department.

The 30-year-old got out of her car, walked up to the door and pointed a gun at the workers inside the restaurant, police said.

Surveillance footage was used to identify Stansberry, who was arrested later that day and charged with aggravated assault, according to the department.

She was booked at Glynn County Detention Center and was still in jail as of March 7, according to jail records.

Brunswick is about a 70-mile drive northeast of Jacksonville, Florida.
