The employee told the customers that the ice cream machine was down for maintenance, so she was unable to sell it to them, deputies said.
Deputies said the customers then went into the restaurant and saw another customer with ice cream, so they began arguing with the employee.

Deputies said the employee was not injured during the incident.
A manager at the restaurant said she witnessed the incident and called 911 for help.
The employee said she believes the women could have been related to another employee at the restaurant, but did not provide further information to authorities, according to the report.
