So I sat there like a gentleman. >> Uhhuh. >> She said, "Sir, come up. ready to order. I got up and I presented my debit card and I said, "I'm not sure it's working. Can we try it first?" >> She said, "I don't know how to do that." I said, "Ma'am, use your head. For God's sake, is she's the easy as hell." I mean, it's not hard to test your debit card, but she's there for a reason. I don't I said I mean blacks have to be told their color for God's sake. I mean she got heated really heated and started calling me an [ __ ] >> Mhm. >> So I ran made a run for it. She chased me out the door and threw a sign at me and that was the end of the incident. She was he she was I was a gentleman. She said you can have a seat. I said thank you ma'am. And I waited patiently and I presented my debit card without any I didn't throw it at her or push it at her or poke it at her and I said I'm not sure it's good. I you know I have money in the bank but it's acting funny. So and she didn't know I don't know how to deal with this and the managers to her right. I mean she didn't even bother to look around or ask or she looked at me and said I don't know how to do this. So I said, "You're, you know, you got to call blacks and when you're out in the field, you just take and that's their color." >> All right. And she's she's new or something. And I That's about it. I'm going home. You want to take I my I I met my first friend in jail. I like jail. >> Okay. >> It's I make my friends in jail. Okay.

Guy, I mean, it's not worth repeating yet. >> I want to make sure I understand. >> Just let's get going. I mean, >> you know, like how I just made sure you understood what I read to you. I'm trying to make sure I understand what you're telling me. >> It's understood. Everything's understood. >> So, you went to Wendy's a little bit early. They said, "Can't order yet." So, you took a seat. >> I said, "Ma'am, thank you." I said, "Thank you kindly." I mean, >> then she said, "Ready to order. Called to the counter." I said my I I wanted to get cash at the presto at Publix. That's how I know and it wouldn't work. That's why I said I told her I didn't tell her my the Presto to give me cash. I knew it already. >> So that's why I said let's test let's give this a test. >> And she goes, "Yeah, I I don't." She had like a really heated look, mean look on her face looking at me and I was like, "For God's sake, just I mean she's fairly bright, you know. She's got a job at Wendy's, of course. I mean, she's got to must have a high IQ. She's got to handle cash and way to communicate with customers and relate to people. And she didn't do any of that with me. And I'm an older man, too. I'm 61 years old. Okay. So, I'm I mean, Wendy's is my favorite restaurant uh fast food, you know. I like going there. I wanted to get some milk and something at Publix, but I decided on Wendy's.

Did you hit her? >> No, I grabbed my debit card and started headed to the to the door. >> Okay. Grabbed your debit card off the counter from her finger in her fingers. >> Okay.

Uh, the ambulance should be coming in if you don't mind grabbing them really quick. >> So, um, when we got started up and stuff, I called them up to the front and, um, I was like, "Um, what would you like to order?" So when he came up, he seemed nice normal. So I was like, um, what would you like to order? He was like, um, I want to try my card first because I don't know if my card is going to work. So I was like, well sir, you got to in order to for me to run your card, you got to either order something and that's the only way I can check your card. So he was like, "Um, you need to tell me you you can't just run. You can't just check my card." And I was like, "Hold on now." And it kind of spurred from there. We just we kind of started arguing. >> Talked to me about when he touched you. >> He like um he he didn't really touch me. He just like threw something at me. I don't know what it was. And I like went the charge at him like just went the he when he threw it he took off running out the door. >> So when he threw it, did he actually hit you? >> It like hit my shoulder. >> Okay.

As I was coming from the back, I heard him call her. >> Okay. >> And stuff. And um >> then she told him to get out. >> Okay. >> Then come around and he hit her. He hit her on the shoulder and she picked up the trays and was >> So he hit her first. >> Yes. >> What did he hit her with? >> His hand. >> Okay. So she's saying that he threw something. >> He probably did because when I was coming up, they was already arguing. >> Okay. >> And I seen her. I seen him. He hit her. I was trying to go get the other. >> How did he hit her? >> Um on the shoulder. >> How?

Me too. >> Okay, I'll tell you. >> So, he made the first move to hit you. What did he hit you with? >> I don't know what it was. >> I don't know what it was. I just when we were arguing back and forth, he kept calling me. I called him. >> Did you scoot back and sit back? I don't know what he hit me with, to be honest. >> Okay. But that's the only time that you and him made contact. >> Yeah. And then when I ran out to him, when I ran out, I grabbed those trays right there. >> Mhm. >> I grabbed like two trays cuz I was going to bump him in the face with him. I'm being ran and I like slipped right there on that on that rug. And when I slipped on the rug, give me my phone. It's in the office. When I slipped on the rug, that's when I fell and hit my shoulder on the wall. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So, he didn't dislocate my shoulder. >> How bad did he hurt you when he threw something at you? >> It didn't really hurt me. I was just mad. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But the trays was outside.

He came in, didn't know if his credit card was going to work. wanted her to test something before he ordered. She said, "She can't do that. I need an item." And then he started calling her the n-word. Both of them started fighting verbally, just verbal fighting. Apparently, he picked up something, doesn't know what, threw it at her, hit her right shoulder. That's when uh the other witness came in and saw the guy hit her with something. Neither of them know what he hit her with, but she felt the pain in her shoulder. She started grabbing Trey, screaming at him to get out, ran after him, and then slipped and dislocated her shoulder. That is what I got so far. >> She admitted to hit him with trace. I mean, she's claiming some type of battery. And he's not even saying he [music] got hit with tra. >> No, he's never got physical. >> The only physical contact was him hitting her with something first. He made the first move according to those two. Hit her with something. She was attempting to hit him and like chasing him out because he wouldn't leave. >> No, he didn't cause a dislocation, but he did throw something or hit him in the right shoulder.
