Battery Investigation

An employee of Dunkin Donuts, 506 W. North Ave., told police that an irate drive-through customer threw a cup of coffee at the employee at 5:30 p.m. May 18. The employee said the woman placed an order for coffee and a doughnut, but the store was out of the type of doughnut she wanted. She became very argumentative. When the victim handed her the water and coffee she ordered, the suspect threw the coffee and drove off. The victim was able to get a partial license plate number. The victim is about 30 years old with dark blonde hair, driving what could have been a Ford Taurus.
