DANBURY – An “irate” KFC employee was arrested Tuesday for hitting a co-worker after being fired, police said.
Samantha Rodriguez, 24, of Meadowbrook Road, Danbury, had just been terminated from her job when she struck another employee in the face with a cellphone several times, according to the report.
When police arrived at the Federal Road restaurant, at about 1 p.m., the suspect had left the building, but officers found her a short time later.
Rodriguez was charged with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
She was released on a promise to appear in court April 17.
