Share this article Share Young reported to police that Tallent hurled profanities, made threats and spat on her, so she asked him to leave during their encounter at the Arby's at 41st Street and Garnett Road on the evening of March 23, 2019. According to a police press release, Tallent promised to come back and hurt Young.  About an hour later Tallent returned to the restaurant, police said. Tallent's widow, Meoshia Turner, told Tulsa World last April her husband only went back to the eatery to have his order fixed, and that it was Young who escalated the situation. The mother-of-three said she was told that the Arby's manager spat on her husband first and threw loose change at him.   Police said Young got in her car and followed Tallent out of the parking lot north on Garnett Road from the store. Police said that both vehicles had repeatedly braked in a game of 'cat and mouse'. After having a dispute with Tallent, Young followed his SUV in her car and fired a single round , hitting him in the torso Tallent crashed into a vending machine outside a Walmart and died later at a hospital  Young fired one shot with a .45-caliber handgun, for which she did not have a license, at Tallent's SUV and returned to work. He then drove the SUV north to Walmart, where he crashed into a vending machine after having suffered a gunshot wound to his upper torso. He died later at a hospital.  Turner was at the movies that night with family and only found out what had happened to her husband of nearly eight years from a news report.  Police served a warrant on Young's apartment two days later and found a pistol, but Young claimed she destroyed the murder weapon. She reportedly confessed to the crime and showed police where she dumped the gun parts.  Young's trial had been scheduled to begin with jury selection Monday.  Advertisement Read more: Ex-Arby's manager pleads guilty to fatal shooting after alleged spitting incident If you liked this article and you also would like to collect more info regarding mini vending machine kindly visit the web-page.
