Jack in the Box employee Alonniea Fantasia Ford fires at customer Anthony Ramos.

 

She forgot the fries, but gave him shots on the house.

A Texas Jack in the Box turned into a scene out of a Western movie after an enraged employee unloaded on a customer during a dispute over missing curly fries.

The drive-fry shooting occurred March 31, 2021, but surveillance footage only recently surfaced and is blowing up online.

According to a lawsuit filed by customer Anthony Ramos, the fast food fracas kicked off at 11 p.m. after he stopped by the drive-thru at a Jack in the Box near Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.

His pregnant wife was reportedly sitting in the passenger seat and his 6-year-old daughter was in the backseat.

Things quickly went a-fry after Ramos realized his $12.99 combo meal was missing a side of curly fries and returned to the restaurant to raise the issue with drive-thru employee Alonniea Fantasia Ford.

However, Ford subsequently refused to give him his potato sticks, igniting a heated argument between the two.

At one point, the employee starts throwing ketchup, ice and other items at Ramos, who retaliates by tossing items back at the drive-thru window.

According to the complaint, Ford “began cursing at plaintiffs and yelling at them to ‘get the f–k” outta here!’”

Hoping to ease tensions, a fellow employee closed and locked the drive-thru window.

That’s when Ford decided to bring out the big guns … literally. 

 Ford claims she’s not a “mad monster.”

 

Frightening footage shows the fired-up fast food worker returning and unlocking the window, before whipping out a pistol and firing it several times at Ramos, who speeds away.

Thankfully no one was injured in the shooting.

The Ramos family’s attorney Randall Kalline claimed that Ford wanted to injure his client.

“She’s aiming, she’s leaning, she’s not just going up in the air trying to scare people, she’s trying to kill them,” he said.

 

An employee shuts and locks the drive-thru window in a desperate attempt to deescalate the situation.

 

Ford was subsequently arrested and charged with felony assault, but had her sentence deferred to one year after pleading guilty to misdemeanor deadly conduct, according to official documents. She was released in June.

Meanwhile, the Ramos family brought lawsuits against Ford, Jack in the Box and A3H Foods.

They’re reportedly seeking at least $250,000 in damages on the grounds that the shooting caused the family “substantial emotional distress, anxiety, nervousness and fear.”

In the suit, Ramos claimed that his daughter is seeing a counselor because she was so emotionally scarred by watching the ordeal unfold from the backseat of the car.

Despite the incriminating video, Ford maintains that she’s not “an angry person.”

“(I’m) not a mad monster out here. I’m just a woman trying to work for my family,” she told KTRK in an interview. “I’m not going to pull out no gun and shoot at somebody over no curly fries. Come on.”
