Assaulting Chipotle Customer Sentenced to Fast Food Work

Judge Timothy Gilligan Offers Unique Sentence to Teach Empathy

Rosemary Hayne, 39, was sentenced to work in a fast food restaurant for two months after assaulting a Chipotle worker by throwing a hot burrito bowl at her.
The unusual sentence was handed down by Judge Timothy Gilligan, who offered Hayne the choice between 90 days in jail or 30 days in jail plus 60 days working a fast-food job.
Hayne, who was originally sentenced to 180 days in jail with 90 days suspended, accepted the judge's offer to reduce her sentence by working at least 20 hours a week at a fast-food restaurant.
The victim, Emily Russell, quit her job at Chipotle after the incident and said she felt the sentence was fair.
Hayne has yet to find a job at a fast-food restaurant, and it is unclear where she will work.
