Cold case in cold chicken assault no more: Suspects surrender

A man and woman accused of attacking a restaurant owner and her daughter because their chicken was cold have turned themselves in to police, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Surveillance video showing the attack last month went viral and prompted a reward for information about the location of those responsible.

Nathaniel Eric Smith and Latasha M. Smith turned themselves in to the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office outside Savannah, Baxley police told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Officials transported the pair to Appling County, where the incident occurred on June 22.

The couple is accused of aggravated assault.

Qwik Chick food stand owner Jeanette Norris and her 15-year-old daughter were attacked after the suspects complained about the portion size and temperature of their order, according to the Journal-Constitution. Norris refunded the couple their money and told them she had called police.

Norris suffered a broken nose in the attack and her daughter was also punched in the face, police have said.
