A teenage girl was assaulted by a McDonald’s employee after she attempted to retrieve a dipping sauce from behind the counter as no one had reportedly offered her service, according to court documents.
As per an affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital, Akeena Sampson, 31, was on duty at a St. Petersburg McDonald’s on April 4, when she allegedly mistreated a child either knowingly or willfully.
Shortly after 2:15 p.m., a 17-year-old girl ventured behind the counter at the restaurant to obtain some ranch dressing after purportedly receiving no assistance from the staff.
The mayhem unfolded after the teen was walking back into the lobby area when Sampson rushed over to the girl and grabbed her arm, the affidavit reads.

Sampson was arrested on a charge of child abuse without great bodily harm.
Pinellas County records show Sampson was being held on a $2,500 bond, but has since bonded out.
She was also ordered to stay away from her workplace and have no contact with the victim.
Fox News Digital reached out to McDonald’s for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
