Louisville Woman Arrested After Causing $1,000 Damage at Little Caesars Over $1 Extra Sauce Fee
LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY — A 32-year-old Louisville woman was arrested after police say she caused more than $1,000 in damage at a Little Caesars restaurant during a dispute over a $1 charge for extra sauce.
According to Louisville Metro Police, the incident involved Breanna Haynes, who allegedly became irate after learning that her request for extra sauce would cost an additional dollar.
Dispute Escalates Inside Restaurant
Investigators said that after an employee informed Haynes of the small upcharge, she became angry and began shouting at staff. Witnesses reported that the confrontation quickly escalated as Haynes knocked items off the counter, including the store’s cash register and food containers.
The disturbance caused significant damage to property and disrupted service at the busy pizza chain location.
“She completely lost control over a one-dollar charge,” one witness said. “It went from a simple conversation to total chaos in a matter of seconds.”
Police Respond and Arrest Made
Responding officers arrived shortly after the call and took Haynes into custody without further incident. Authorities confirmed that no employees or customers were injured, though the restaurant sustained damages exceeding $1,000.
Haynes has been charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. Police records indicate she was booked at Louisville Metro Corrections, where she is awaiting a court appearance.
Community Reacts to Viral Incident
The story has since gained traction on social media, where many users expressed disbelief that a disagreement over such a small amount could result in an arrest and major property damage.
Some locals shared frustration at the escalating number of similar outbursts at fast-food restaurants across the country, calling it a reflection of rising tensions and declining civility in customer interactions.
“It’s unbelievable what people are losing their tempers over these days,” one commenter wrote. “All that over a dollar? It’s not worth jail time.”
Little Caesars Yet to Issue Statement
As of Monday, Little Caesars corporate representatives have not released an official statement regarding the incident, but employees have reportedly been advised to stay calm and de-escalate tense situations whenever possible.
The restaurant has since reopened after repairs were made to the damaged equipment and counters.
Residents are reminded that property destruction over minor disputes can lead to felony charges and financial restitution under Kentucky law.
