Fullerton woman pleads guilty to vandalizing the South Coast Plaza’s Maggiano’s restaurant

Laglennda Damona Carr, a 25-year-old woman from Fullerton, pleaded guilty on Thursday, Nov. 5, and was immediately sentenced to 200 hours of community service and 45 days in jail for badly damaging the Maggiano’s Little Italy restaurant at the South Coast Plaza in a rampage on Oct. 5, 2019, at 11:40 a.m.

Carr was also placed on two years of formal probation and ordered to participate in an anger-management program, according to the O.C. Register.

Carr accepted felony charges including vandalism and conspiracy and misdemeanor counts of wearing a mask as a disguise during a crime and resisting arrest.

Her co-defendant, Passion Shenay Coleman, was a former employee of the restaurant she and Carr wrecked, the Maggiano’s Little Italy restaurant at the South Coast Plaza, according to the Costa Mesa Police Department.

The two suspects arrived at the restaurant at about 11:40 a.m. on Oct. 5, 2019 and after entering they vandalized a television, table settings and plates. Coleman also made threats and threw a plate at a restaurant employee before she left.

The attack was so grievous that the restaurant was compelled to to cancel a dinner reservations that night.

  • why so many incidents at the South Coast Plaza? it's so funny because I was looking at a tourist brochure about it and I think I changed my mind about giving it a try. one time around 2018 I was in a women's fashion store at the Ventura California mall when a crazy woman charged in, started cussing at the cashier and screaming as she left, threatened the woman. what's wrong with people? be careful who you make angry.
