Belinda H. Miller, 50, was charged with first-degree criminal damage to property and aggravated assault.
Deputies with the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office were called to the Popeyes location on Walton Way in Augusta after receiving reports of an accident with injuries.

The store’s manager told police Miller became angry when she discovered no biscuits with her order and that she then drove her SUV into a restaurant entrance.
The manager said the restaurant corrected the mistake and gave her the biscuits prior to the crash. The manager also said the woman threatened staff before the incident, including calling the store and threatening to drive her car into the building.
Miller nearly struck an 18-year-old employee with her vehicle when she crashed into the store. She continued driving into the store until her vehicle was stopped by debris, according to arrest warrants.
