A woman who wanted chocolate ice cream had a meltdown after employees at a St. Louis restaurant told her they only had vanilla last month, police say.
She spit on workers and took a baseball bat to the windows of a Rally’s restaurant in the Central West End after she was told they’d run out of chocolate early on March 27, police say. She broke out the windows of the restaurant at 305 North Vandeventer Avenue about 2:25 a.m., according to authorities.
She then got in a vehicle and split, heading west on Lindell Boulevard.
Authorities are still looking for the attacker. She was described as a black woman with a medium complexion, between 25 and 35 years old, between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet six inches tall, and 130 to 140 pounds. At the time, she was wearing a green jacket, a yellow shirt and blue jeans.
Police were unable to supply surveillance images Monday.
Authorities asked anyone with information to contact CrimeStoppers online or at 1-866-371-8477.
