Tricia Kortes
Mom Tricia Kortes of Bloomfield Township takes dessert products and her son's birthday pretty darn seriously.
Kortes, 46, who was charged with disorderly conduct in June when she flew into a of rage at a Bloomfield Township Kroger and drop-kicked her child's birthday cake after she didn't like the decoration job. She's now charged with striking an employee in the head in 2015 at Ray's Ice Cream in Royal Oak after the shop told her they were out of the flavor, Mackinac Island fudge, WXYZ's Jennifer Ann Wilson reports.
Employees couldn't identify her in 2015. But after seeing her picture in the media in stories regarding the Kroger incident in June, they figured out who she was, the station reports. One employee said the ice cream was for her son's birthday, just like the cake was in June.
Kortes now faces one count of assault and battery for the incident at Ray's and is expected to turn herself in this week, Fox 2 reports.
An attorney for Kortes told WXYZ that she would soon respond to the ice cream assault.
In the ice cream incident, customers suggested to Kortes that she leave the store after she became belligerent, WXYZ reports. Before she did, a video shows her reaching over the counter and striking employee Linda Waller in the head with her hand. Waller has filed a lawsuit against her, WXYZ reports.
WXYZ reports that Kortes has a little of history of losing it.
In 2015, she was charged with assault and battery in Troy. She eventually pled to disorderly person and was fined $500 fine and ordered to attend anger management counseling. In 2003, she was placed on probation for a year after being charged with assault in King County, Wash.
