A Missouri woman accused of shooting a McDonald's employee over a dispute about French fries has been criminally charged.

Terika Clay, 30, of St. Louis, was charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action for allegedly shooting an unidentified employee after an altercation over a discount on French fries escalated, according to reports.

The incident began when Clay pulled up to the drive-through window and started an argument with the employee about the price of French fries. Clay then threatened to shoot the victim, according to media reports and court documents.
