Witnesses tell Action News Jax it was all over a refund for cold chicken nuggets.

A store employee told officers that a woman was complaining and trying to get free food. The employee told the woman to leave because the store was closing, a police report says.

One of the women tried to re-enter the restaurant, but the door was locked.

She began beating on the door -- and caused $900 worth of damage to it, according to the police report.

"(They) beat on the door trying to bust the glass and pull and jiggle the door handle till the door handle literally breaks off the door," a customer said in the Facebook post.

One of the women came back inside the store after a customer unlocked a door to leave.

She picked up a vase from a table, threw it across the restaurant and then left, the employee told police.

One of the videos posted to Facebook shows the floor littered with straws and condiment packets.

A woman can be heard yelling before an object flies through the air.

Chuck Campbell, owner of the Chick-fil-A location, sent Action News Jax a statement:

"We apologize for the disruption that took place at our restaurant. We are cooperating fully with the local police as there is a pending investigation."

Action News Jax Crime and Safety expert Ken Jefferson said the suspects could be charged with criminal mischief.
