After getting the wrong order at a Taco Bell drive-through in St. Paul, a 24-year-old woman and two friends went into the restaurant and started a fight. When a 15-year-old customer stood up for the employees, he got a tire iron to the head, according to charges against one suspect.

Laresha Marie Uting of St. Paul was charged with one felony count of second-degree riot with a dangerous weapon.

Her two cohorts, a female identified in the complaint as “BJ” and a male identified as “Guns,” have not been arrested or charged, according to police.

The assault occurred about 9 p.m. May 26 at the Taco Bell near White Bear and Nevada avenues in the Greater East Side neighborhood.

Restaurant employees told police that a group of three had placed an order in the drive-through and were upset about their food, according to a criminal complaint. The trio was reportedly “belligerent and swore at staff.”

According to the criminal complaint:

A 15-year-old boy who is a regular at the Taco Bell said he tried to talk to the group about their mistreatment of the staff and they argued. The group left and returned moments later.

One of the women, who was wearing a SuperAmerica uniform, had retrieved a metal pipe — later determined to be a tire-iron lug wrench — which she gave to the male. One of the females picked up a chair and threw it at employees behind the counter and then the male hit the boy over the head with the tire iron.

When they walked out to the parking lot, the group then attacked a 34-year-old customer who was getting out of 1his vehicle to go into the restaurant, the complaint said. The customer hit the man in the face before he fell to the ground and was assaulted by the group, he told police.

The three left in a white Cadillac registered to Uting. Uting also matched the description of the woman who retrieved the tire iron.

In a police interview, Uting admitted that she got the tire iron and gave it to “Guns,” the complaint said. She claimed someone had thrown a chair at her group.

Uting told police she tried to pull her friends off the customer they assaulted in the parking lot, the charges said.
