EXCLUSIVE: Drunk woman who trashed Manhattan fries restaurant after being asked to pay $1.75 for extra sauce now sues CAR WASH after it refused her service and she ‘fell down a drain’ at 3am

A drunken woman who vandalized a New York chip shop after being asked to pay an extra $1.75 for sauce is now suing a car wash, claiming she “fell down the drain” shortly after they refused to clean up the egg-covered car. cleaning her friend at 3am.

Chitara Plasencia and her two friends were arrested and charged with theft, criminal mischief and criminal possession of a weapon after they started a violent food fight at the Bel Fries fast-food restaurant on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in July 2022.

A viral video of the chaotic incident shows the women twerking on the counter and throwing food and a stool at the terrified staff after being told how much the extra sauce costs.

The women first appeared in court last July over the incident. Plasencia has since pleaded guilty to assault and is due back in court in December.

But it has now emerged that she is also involved in at least two more ongoing legal disputes. In one, she sues a Brooklyn car wash for negligence, claiming she “fell into a drain” and was seriously injured.

One of the women tapped the plexiglass. Two employees suffered lacerations to the head and were “afraid for their lives,” the restaurant’s co-owner said

The complaint, originally filed in November 2019, alleges that Zap Car Wash & Oil Change in Brooklyn refused to serve her and her friends at 3 a.m. on February 23, 2019.

She says when she then entered the car wash, she fell into an uncovered drain and suffered “serious injuries.”

She claims the car wash was “reckless, careless and negligent” by failing to cover or signage the drain.

In her statement, Plasencia said she went on a double date with her friend Pearl Ozoria – one of the other women involved in the french fry incident – ​​and two men.

She said they had been at a hookah lounge and when they left at 2:30 a.m. they discovered that one of the men’s car had been “vandalized with syrup and eggs.”

They decided to go to Zap Car Wash, which is open 24 hours a day.

She said she got out of the car to talk to an employee, but the employee refused service, so she asked to speak to a manager and walked past the employee into the garage.

She said it was dark inside and as she was walking, her left foot “went through an uncovered drain” so that her left leg went through the hole to six inches above the knee.

She claims that Ozoria saw her fall.

Chitara Plasencia was arrested over the Bel Fries incident and appeared in court for the first time last July. She has to appear in court again in December. She shouted at the press: ‘What’s wrong with you? Come even closer to me. I dare you’

Plasencia taunted Bel Fries employees who cowered behind the counter. The restaurant’s co-owner said the women caused up to $20,000 in damage

But the company behind the car wash said the incident ‘could not have happened’ because that part of the business was closed at the time, staff on duty had no memory of the incident and the building is fully lit.

They also had an expert measure their drains and found: ‘Even if the claimant had had access to the rear area, she would not have been able to put her entire leg into the drain.

“Based on the dimensions, plaintiff would have been able to get at most the first two inches of her foot into the drain.”

Plasencia says the person who refused her service was “an individual of Nigerian descent,” but car wash representatives say no employees of Nigerian descent were working there at the time.

The case is still ongoing.

Plasencia is also involved in an ongoing legal dispute over a health insurance claim following a September 2021 car accident.

She was a passenger in the car and claimed medical treatment after the accident, but State Farm Fire and Casualty Company’s insurer disputed her claim.

Plasencia must appear in court again on December 29 in the Bel Fries case.

She, Ozoria and their other friend Tatiyana Johnson made headlines after they were caught on camera assaulting restaurant workers.

The wild scene erupted in the early hours of July 3, 2022 when the three drunk women entered the restaurant on Ludlow Street and were told by restaurant employees that they would have to pay an additional $1.75 for extra sauce with their order.

One of them then got up on the counter and started twerking, while the other two threw food at the helpless staff and destroyed property.

Two employees suffered head wounds and were “scared for their lives,” according to the restaurant’s co-owner, who estimated the women caused $20,000 worth of damage.

Plasencia says she went to Zap Car Wash at 3 a.m. after a double date at a hookah lounge. Upon leaving the location they discovered their car had been ‘vandalized with syrup and eggs’

Court documents showed a drain at the car wash

The trio were seen laughing as they climbed onto the counter, threw restaurant stools, knocked down the plexiglass divider used for Covid safety, threw bottles of sauce and unknown objects into the air as a group of onlookers outside cheered them on, with some made recordings. fight.

An NYPD spokesperson told DailyMail.com at the time that one of the women took about $10 from the register.

Two employees, a 33-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man, suffered minor head injuries as a result. The woman was transported to Sinai Beth Israel by ambulance personnel, the spokesperson said.

The restaurant’s staff said they were afraid to return to work after the incident.

The three women were taken into custody by officers near Rivington Street and Essex Street.

When Plasencia appeared in court last July, she berated journalists and shouted, “What’s wrong with you guys?

‘Come even closer to me. I dare you.’
