The warrants state that Dillon went to the Cracker Barrel location at W. Pointe Court in Lithia Springs between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.

While she was inside the restaurant, the warrant alleges that Dillon started to point a gun at the ground and yelling at other customers “to get back,” putting one of the customers inside the restaurant at risk.

She then got up and started waiving a 9mm handgun around and pointing it at the Waffle House customers, according to the warrants. At least one gunshot went off, but no one was injured.

Dillon is sitting in the Douglas County Jail on two counts of simple assault and seven pending counts of aggravated assault. A judge denied her bond.
