In a troubling incident in Del City, Oklahoma, a Pizza Hut employee was reportedly assaulted by a couple following a mix-up with their order. The event took place on May 18, when the couple, identified as Cortez Davis and Jessica Ellis, allegedly reacted violently after their pizza order was mistakenly given to another customer.
Incident Details
According to reports, Jessica Ellis entered the restaurant, upset over the error, and demanded a resolution. As the employee attempted to issue a refund for the $22.49 order, Ellis is accused of spitting in his face and threatening that her partner would handle the situation. After she left, Davis allegedly forced his way into the establishment, physically attacking the employee by punching him and curb-stomping him multiple times.
The police were called, but the couple left the scene without receiving their food or a refund. Authorities have been in contact with Ellis, who reportedly admitted to much of the incident but remained focused on obtaining her refund. She has even called 911 multiple times to request that an officer deliver the refund, a request that is not in line with standard procedures.
Community Impact
This incident has raised concerns in the community about the safety of service workers and the extreme reactions to minor disputes. The search for Davis and Ellis continues as law enforcement seeks to address the situation and ensure justice for the assaulted employee.
