A woman in Milwaukee is facing a felony charge after allegedly causing around $10,000 damage to a DoorDash driver’s vehicle over a failed chicken wings order.
On July 11, driver Faith Morris picked up a late-night “high-priced” food order that “was in the area,” she said, per Fox 6 Milwaukee, confirming she threw her kids in the car and went to get the food.
However, Morris’ phone service ended up shutting off due to an overdue bill, so she wasn’t able to complete the delivery, the outlet noted.
“Within five minutes, T-Mobile shuts my phone off. I’m shocked,” Morris told Fox 6 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.”
She then returned home, but the customer was not happy and texted the driver, accusing them of stealing their food, the outlet stated.
According to TMJ4 News, customer Janiyah Jones was allegedly able to track Morris back to her home and ended up calling her for around an hour after the failed order.
“There’s no way that she should have been able to call me for an hour after this happened. An hour? It’s absolutely insane,” Morris said, per the outlet.

A criminal complaint obtained by PEOPLE identified the suspect as 22-year-old Jones, stating she’d allegedly thrown a brick at Morris’ car, as well as striking “her vehicle repeatedly with a tire iron, smashing her windows.”
“It was so crazy how the glass was just raining from the sky when she was hitting it,” Morris said, per TMJ4 News.
Morris claimed she hasn’t been able to work as a delivery driver since the incident occurred, the outlet noted.
Milwaukee police investigators were able to match Ring doorbell video footage with body camera footage from a previous crash involving the suspect earlier this year, the criminal complaint obtained by PEOPLE stated. Police had identified the woman in question as Jones after finding her to be the owner of the cellphone number through records obtained via DoorDash.
The complaint stated that over $10,000 worth of damage had allegedly been done to Morris’ car.
“She did this over a ten-piece chicken wing! She passed [Fryerz] to come here,” Morris told TMJ4 News on Aug. 5.

A DoorDash spokesperson said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE, “This customer’s actions are completely uncalled for, unacceptable, and disturbing. We have permanently banned them from our platform and are in touch with the Dasher directly to offer our support.”
The company also said that they wouldn’t ever share or show a worker’s home address with any consumers.
