Employee's Glasses Broken In Scuffle Posted: 10:09 a.m. EST December 27, 2002 Updated: 10:55 a.m. EST December 27, 2002

A woman who couldn't have the cookie she craved is behind bars for attacking an employee at a shopping mall cookie stand, police said Thursday.

"She became enraged that they didn't have the cookie she wanted to consume," said Ann Arbor police Sgt. Andrew Zazula.

The clash happened at Briarwood Mall about 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

The 25-year-old Belleville woman, who was not identified, then "exchanged words" with the clerk, picked up a two-pound box of tissue wrappers and hurled it at the clerk, Zazula said.

The box struck the clerk in the face, he said, breaking her glasses.

Police said the woman then went around the counter and punched the clerk, causing no major injuries.

The woman is spending the night in Washtenaw County Jail and is scheduled to be charged today, Zazula said. He said she had been complaining about being jailed over the confrontation but that she had been cooperating.

Zazula said he did not know what kind of cookie the woman wanted but said it was likely there were extra Christmas cookies at the jail.

"I'm sure they'll give some to her," he said. "Hopefully it's the kind she wanted."
