A woman in Maryland was arrested for allegedly flashing a gun at Taco Bell employees after waiting too long for her food.

Ashley Andrews, 30, was placed under arrest on Thursday after she flashed a handgun from under her shirt at employees of the fast-food restaurant in Chester, according to officials.

Employees told deputies of the Queen Anne’s County Office of the Sheriff that Andrews became upset over the wait time and threatened them to come outside as she showed her firearm.

Officials said when they arrived, they found the hungry woman and another person, who was also detained, arguing with workers inside the restaurant.

They removed Andrews’ firearm before confirming on surveillance and cell phone footage that she threatened the staff.

Andrews was charged with 2nd Degree Assault, Handgun on Person, Disturbing the Peace/Disorderly Conduct, and Reckless Endangerment.

She has been banned from the Taco Bell.

To make matters worse, police added that she never got her tacos.

Users online were astonished by the idea of stopping at a fast-food spot and leaving in handcuffs.

One user wrote: ‘Queen Anne’s County never disappoints. Every time you think you’ve heard the craziest story possible, someone out there treats it like a challenge and raises the bar.’

Another added: ‘Probably should reevaluate things if you get barred from a Taco Bell. What is life at that point.’

A third added: ‘Wow, is Taco Bell food worth catching a felony charge? I guess she really likes Taco Bell and wants the food fast.’

Taco Bell recently fixed a glaring gap in its menu and brought back a fan favorite after years.

The fast-food giant has launched its first-ever nationwide fajita menu items, introducing sizzling peppers and onions to its lineup for the first time after years of testing.

At the same time, Taco Bell has quietly brought back one of its most beloved cult favorites, the Enchirito, marking its first return to the menu since 2023.

The double menu move fills what many fans considered glaring gaps in Taco Bell’s lineup while giving nostalgic customers another reason to make a trip to the drive-thru.
