A 17-year-old Chicago female who ordered takeout from Guadalajara near Cermak and Oak Park Avenue, told police that when she saw the order had been filled incorrectly, she returned with the food to complain. Back at Guadalajara, she confronted the woman who had taken the order. The ordertaker, a 26-year-old woman from Forest View, replied that she had filled the order exactly as the teen had given it. The teen then claimed the employee threw salsa on her pants, so she responded by tossing the lunch order at the employee, starting a fight the cook had to break up. But when police spoke with the ordertaker, a different picture emerged: she said not only did the teen throw food first, she also punched the ordertaker in the mouth with a fist, tore the shirt off her victim and whacked her with a pool cue. Marks on her body were consistent with a pool cue attack. The teen was arrested, and at the station admitted that her initial story was inaccurate in its key elements. She was charged with battery and disorderly conduct and ordered to have no contact of any kind with the victim.
