Two Detroit sisters face major assault charges after a fast-food dispute turned into a bloody fight.
We go to restaurants to get a quick meal, expecting a simple transaction. But a small mistake with a food order in Detroit ended with a worker in surgery and a newborn baby separated from her mother.
WHAT HAPPENED
Police say Brianna and Kierianna Long got the wrong food at a restaurant on East Warren Avenue on May 30. The sisters argued with a worker, went behind the counter, and started a physical fight.
The fight moved across the restaurant as the sisters chased the worker and threw items. When the worker threw things back, police say the sisters grabbed a knife and stabbed the worker in the stomach.
One sister also tried to throw hot grease and threatened to kill the worker. The sisters drove away from the scene but police caught them later.
What the evidence shows
- The stabbing happened around 6:00 p.m. on East Warren Avenue.
- The worker needed surgery for a stab wound to the stomach.
- Brianna Long gave birth to a baby just four days before her court date.
- Brianna's bond was set at $25,000, while Kierianna's bond was set at $100,000.
- Both women must wear GPS tethers if they pay their bonds to leave jail.
THE BIGGER QUESTION
Why has daily life become so tense that a minor mistake over food leads to extreme violence? We see more stories of workers facing rage over small errors, leaving us to wonder how we lost our patience.
THE OTHER SIDE
The sisters' lawyer says the worker started the physical fight. The defense claims the worker said they did not care about the order error and threw items at the sisters first.
WHAT HAPPENS NOW
The injured worker is recovering from surgery. Meanwhile, Brianna Long is in jail while her newborn baby is at home.
The sisters face serious charges, including assault with intent to murder. They will appear in court again soon to see if their bond amounts will change.
WHAT WE STILL DON'T KNOW
- What exact food order started this violent argument?
- Did the restaurant have security cameras that captured the start of the fight?
- Who is caring for Brianna's four-day-old baby while she is in jail?
