A Milwaukee woman is facing a felony charge after she allegedly caused $10,000 worth of damage to her food delivery driver’s car over a failed chicken wing order, according to TMJ4 Milwaukee.
Janiyah Jones has been charged with criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct after she allegedly used the DoorDash app to track the driver to her home, where she damaged her car.
On July 11, Faith Morris was on her way to deliver a late-night DoorDash order from Fryerz restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, when she lost cellular service on her phone as a result of an overdue phone bill.
“Within five minutes, T-Mobile shuts my phone off. I’m shocked,” Morris told Fox6 Milwaukee. “We pull up to the location, but the address will not load because my app won’t load anymore. I sit outside the customer’s house for 10 minutes and [was] calling T-Mobile to see if they’ll turn my phone back on.”
According to Morris, once she returned home and connected to WiFi, she contacted the customer and tried to explain what happened.
“All of a sudden, I’m getting text messages from the customer saying I’m stealing their food,” Morris told Fox6. “And I’m trying to explain to them, I’m not trying to steal their food, that my phone just got turned off.”
Morris alleges that after Jones repeatedly called her, she eventually showed up at her house and began damaging her car.
“They picked up one of those bricks right there from the neighbor’s house, and they threw it on my windshield,” Morris told Fox6.
Morris says she has been unable to work as a delivery driver for the past month following the incident.
“This customer’s actions are completely uncalled for, unacceptable, and disturbing,” representatives for DoorDash said in a statement to TMJ4.
Jones faces up to 3 1/2 years in prison if she is convicted of the alleged crimes.
“She did this over a ten-piece chicken wing! She passed Fryerz to come here,” Morris told TMJ4.
