Police reports state that she fired five gunshots at a Florida Burger King customer following a verbal altercation that took place at the restaurant. After the exchange of words concluded, the customer threw mayo at Hicks, prompting her to leave her post at the drive-thru window for her vehicle, where her gun was. Then, she tracked down the customer in his car, and shot at him (in his vehicle) at least five times before he was able to drive off. Police arrested Hicks after her vehicle was found about a half a mile from her home, but the customer has yet to be tracked down by authorities.
