Woman hangs upside down from tree following confrontation at McDonalds

FORT PIERCE — A woman seen hanging upside down from a tree in a McDonald’s parking lot before lying on her car’s hood following a confrontation inside the fast food eatery remained Tuesday in the St. Lucie County jail, according to an arrest affidavit and a jail official.

Amity Joy Doss, 24, on Sunday afternoon told an assistant manager at the restaurant in the 4800 block of North Kings Highway to fire a cashier waiting on a customer in front of her.

Thinking Doss, who hadn’t spoken to the cashier, was joking, the assistant manager ignored the comment, the affidavit stated.

Officials reported Doss then proceeded behind the counter and pulled the juvenile cashier by her shirt and waist, saying the service was “not acceptable.” The manager told St. Lucie County sheriff’s investigators he told the cashier to go in the back until it was safe to return.

That, he said, is when Doss “exited the store and began hanging upside down on a tree in the store parking lot before laying on the hood of her car.”

Doss came back inside to see if the cashier had been fired and pushed a customer. Deputies found her standing in the parking lot next to her beige Ford Escort.

Doss got “very combative” en route to the jail, according to the affidavit.
