A Kentucky woman is facing criminal charges after police say she caused more than $1,000 in damage at a Little Caesars restaurant when told she would need to pay $1 for extra sauce, as reported [1] by The Blaze.
According to court documents cited by WDRB-TV, Breanna Haynes placed a phone order with the Little Caesars location and went to pick it up earlier this year.

While at the store, Haynes requested extra sauce. When an employee informed her there would be an additional $1 charge, police said Haynes “created a disturbance in the store.”
Authorities reported that Haynes knocked items off the counter, including a custom-made computer stand and the store’s register system. The total cost of damages exceeded $1,000.
Surveillance footage was reviewed by Louisville police, who matched the suspect to a known photo, allowing employees to confirm her identity.
Haynes was charged with criminal mischief in connection with the January incident. She was not arrested until late September.
Court records show that Haynes was also accused of a separate act of vandalism on September 22. Police said she allegedly threw a brick at a vehicle belonging to the father of her child during a dispute over his desire to move back to Cincinnati.
That incident reportedly caused another $1,000 in damages. She was subsequently charged with both assault and criminal mischief in that case as well.

The incidents have drawn widespread public reaction. On Facebook, commenters expressed disbelief that the initial confrontation began over a $1 sauce charge.
“That must be some good sauce!” one commenter wrote. Another added, “I guess she’d rather pay $1,000 plus lawyers instead of just giving up the dollar. Smh, wish I had that kind of money.”
Other commenters were critical of Haynes’ behavior. “Stay home if you don’t know how to behave in public,” one person advised.
Another remarked, “Can’t afford a buck for sauce? Maybe you shouldn’t be buying pizza then.”
Haynes is scheduled to appear in court on the charges. The Louisville Metro Police Department has not released further details on the pending cases.
