Police say an off-duty deputy was assaulted after telling a woman to not put her hands in a restaurant's salad bar.

According to the Oklahoma City Police Department, at approximately 12:30 p.m. April 1 an off-duty Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office deputy was eating at Mazzio's, 7620 S. Pennsylvania, with her two children.

The deputy was at the restaurant's salad bar when she noticed 29-year-old Lindsay Williams use her bare hands to grab salad from the salad bowl.

The off-duty deputy told restaurant staff who then changed the bowl of lettuce. The deputy was later back at the salad bar when she saw Williams stick her bare hands in the salad bowl once again.

The deputy then told Williams that she should stop. The police report shows that Williams then punched the off-duty deputy in the face.

Police were then called to the restaurant and Williams was arrested on a complaint of assault and battery.
