Customer fights phone store worker, cuts her face with key, Coral Springs cops say

A woman who refused service and wanted her cellphone back at a Coral Springs phone store is accused of getting into a fight with an employee, leaving the worker with cuts to her face, police said.

Rayven Davis-Jernigan, 25, is charged with burglary with assault or battery in connection with the July 8 incident.

Davis-Jernigan went to the store to see about getting her number transferred to a new phone, but when she learned it would cost $95, she told them she wanted her phone back, Coral Springs officers wrote in a probable cause affidavit.

The employee said no initially and said she would call her manager to help, then the customer responded that she would slap her if she didn’t get her phone back, according to the report.

Davis-Jernigan then walked behind the counter to the employee-only area, prompting the worker to throw the phone onto the counter “to avoid further confrontation,” police wrote.

Davis-Jernigan is accused of shoving the worker, who said she hit the customer back in self-defense.

Another person broke up the fight, and police responded to the store. The employee said Davis-Jernigan had keys around her wrist that slashed her face, leaving her with “visible injuries to the left side of her face, including redness and swelling around her left eye and left eyelid,” police noted in the affidavit.

When police interviewed Davis-Jernigan, she said she was frustrated when the employee wouldn’t give her phone back after she repeatedly asked her to, according to the report. She said she warned the worker that if she didn’t return the phone, she would go back there and get it herself.

Officers took her to the police department and then Broward County jail. The Pompano Beach woman has since bonded out.
