PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) A bikini-clad woman who started a brawl at a Burger King in Panama City Beach is now facing a felony charge. The incident, which was captured on camera, has been viewed more than 100,000 times on YouTube.
Kimesa Smith of Montgomery, Ala., can be seen hitting and throwing items at employees, jumping onto the counter and whacking someone with a large container. After the March 19 incident, the 31-year-old Smith was charged with misdemeanor battery.
On Friday, however, Florida authorities added a charge of felony criminal mischief with damage of more than $1,000, as well as disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
One of the fast food chain’s employees told authorities Smith was complaining about her order when the fight began.
