The incident happened during lunch hour on New Year's Day in the drive-thru of a Burger King just off Deadrick Avenue in Memphis, according to a police affidavit.

The customer said when she told an employee that her order was wrong, the worker, identified as Oderrial Moore-Williams, began cursing and yelling at her.

The customer said she was afraid and pretended to grab something from her vehicle, WATN reported.

A witness told officers that he saw Moore-Willams pull a handgun out of a purse and pointed it at the customer.

When the witness told Moore-Williams to put the gun away, she allegedly put it in a brown bag and gave it to a woman in the parking lot, who left the scene.

Moore-Williams, 38, was charged with aggravated assault.
