Oklahoma Police Hunt 2 Suspects After $22.49 Pizza Hut Order Led to Alleged Assault

  • Del City police were still searching Monday for Cortez Davis and Jessica Ellis after a May 18 confrontation at a Pizza Hut allegedly escalated from a mistaken $22.49 order into an assault on an employee.
  • Court documents say Ellis entered first, demanded the worker fix the order, spat in his face as he tried to process a refund, and said “her man” would handle it.
  • Davis then allegedly forced his way into the restaurant, punched the employee, curb-stomped him three times and kicked him in the head before leaving without food or a refund.
  • Police said they later reached Ellis by phone and she admitted much of the incident; she also reportedly called 911 multiple times asking officers to bring her the $22.49 refund.
  • The case centers on a simple order mix-up that investigators say turned into a violent attack, with both suspects still being sought weeks after the incident.
