A woman in North Carolina was apprehended after cops say she entered a Jimmy John’s sandwich shop, got furious about her order, and ended up stabbing a 16-year-old girl working behind the counter.
The 45-year-old assailant, Demetris Holeman, of High Point, North Carolina, is accused of coming into the restaurant on North Main Street at about 5:50 p.m. on April 25 complaining about her order.
Employees told responding officers that the woman, who is known at the store and had previously been denied service, started throwing several items at the 16-year-old victim. Holeman then grabbed an edged weapon and allegedly stabbed the young girl with it, according to the High Point Police Department.
“The sheer fact that an adult finds it OK to physically assault someone because a sandwich menu, or a sandwich order being wrong, is abhorrent,” High Point police Capt. Patrick O’Toole remarked to WXII. “The fact that you were willing to assault someone, not only physically but with an edged weapon over a sandwich being wrong, I can’t explain how you come to that conclusion.”
The victim, whose identity was made public, was rushed to Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro. WXII reported that her injuries were serious but she is expected to survive.
Holeman was busted at her home a few hours after the incident, police said. She is charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and injury to real property for the damages to the store.
A Jimmy John’s spokesperson told Fox News that the franchisee is fully cooperating with local law enforcement and deferred any additional questions to the police department.
