TOLEDO, OHIO -- An East Toledo woman became so enraged that chicken nuggets were not available at a Toledo McDonald's that she punched through the drive-thru window.

Toledo Police say Melodi Dushane, 24, stopped at the fast-food restaurant at Front and Main Streets in East Toledo early Friday morning and asked for chicken nuggets.  When the drive-thru attendant told her the restaurant was only serving breakfast and that the item was not available, Dushane reached through the window and punched the attendant in the mouth. 

After a night manager came to the window, Dushane began swinging her fists at her.  The manager attempted to pull Dushane through the window by her hair.  After being released, Dushane then punched through the drive-thru's glass window.

Dushane was treated at Mercy St. Charles Hospital for her injuries and then incarcerated at the Lucas County Jail. 

In court on Saturday, Dushane pleaded not guilty to a felony vandalism charge.   She was released from police custody on her own recognizance and is scheduled to be in court next on Jan. 28. 

McDonald's employees did not report any injuries to police.

A judge has ordered that Dushane not visit the 90 Main St. McDonald's location again.
