She told officers that she was working in the kitchen when an angry customer came in and demanded to know where the rest of his order was. Loyd told the unidentified man that the order would come out as soon as it was ready.

Loyd then told the unidentified man that she would not tolerate the disrespect, took the food out of the bag and began throwing the ingredients in the man's direction.

The man then left the area and did not contact the police further regarding the matter.

A witness caught in the crossfire of the incident stated that Loyd was snappy and agitated toward customers. He told officers that the unknown man threw the bag behind the counter, but he would not assume the bag was thrown at Loyd.

When other witnesses were questioned further, they confirmed that Loyd was apparently the attacker in this case.

While analyzing the incident, officers reviewed Loyd's file and discovered that there was a warrant out for her arrest in Richland County and that she was wanted for fraud.

Loyd was arrested and taken to the Charleston County Jail.
