CHESTERTON, Ind. -- A women upset over the preparation of her hamburger stabbed a Burger King manager in the head with a pen, police said.

Celinda Dellareese Barge of Detroit was arrested Sunday on charges of battery, resisting law enforcement and disorderly conduct.

Barge swung a fist at assistant manager Amanda Benedict, 25, and then stabbed her in the crown of her head with a ball point pen, Police Chief George Nelson said.

The incident begin in the drive-through lane when Barge complained to restaurant workers that her Whopper sandwich did not have bacon, as she had ordered, police said. Restaurant workers added bacon to the sandwich, but Barge complained the bacon was cold and that she didn't want ketchup.

Benedict and another manager went outside to return Barge her money, but she threw two bags of food at them. Barge then followed the managers inside the restaurant and was fighting with Benedict when officers arrived, police said.

Benedict was treated at a hospital and released.

Barge was released from the Porter County Jail in Valparaiso on $5,000 bond Monday. She has an unpublished telephone number and could not be reached for comment today.
