COLUMBIA, Tenn. (WSMV/Meredith) - Police arrested a Popeyes employee after he allegedly body slammed a customer outside the restaurant in Columbia, Tennessee. Deriance Ra'Shaiel Hughes, 29, was charged with felony aggravated assault following the incident on Tuesday. WSMV reports that Hughes got into an argument with a 55-year-old woman inside the restaurant, and their verbal altercation spilled out into the parking lot. Video posted to social media appears to show Hughes pick up the woman and slam her onto the ground, according to authorities. The McElhaney Law Firm, which is representing the victim, Debra Staggs, said she suffered multiple injuries -- including nine fractures, six cracked ribs and a broken knee. She underwent surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center on Friday and remains hospitalized. The firm said Staggs is a grandmother and the mother of a state trooper.
