Georgia woman stabbed over McDonald's meal dispute

PHENIX CITY, Ala. - A McDonald&#39;s employee was arrested on second-degree assault charges Wednesday after an upset customer was stabbed in the forehead with a ballpoint pen. <br> <br> Stephanie Renee Coleman, 21, of Phenix City is accused of leaning over the counter and repeatedly stabbing Nelani Walton of Columbus, Ga. in the forehead with a pen, police said. <br> <br> &#34;There was an order that was placed, and, evidently, the customer wasn&#39;t pleased with it,&#34; Phenix City Police Capt. Jim Hart said. <br> <br> Walton, 29, was treated for stitches to her forehead and cuts to her mouth and later released. <br> <br> &#34;There was a great deal of profanity coming out of the employee prior to the stabbing,&#34; Walton&#39;s attorney Kenneth Funderburk said late Thursday. <br> <br> Coleman was fired before the incident after Walton told the manager about the argument, store owner Jack Pezold said. Coleman is being held on $10,000 bond. <br> <br>
