Police said they were called to a restaurant in the area of Highway 7 and Keele Street a little after midnight on Friday for reports of a car stopped in the drive-thru.

The caller told police the driver hadn’t ordered any food and didn’t respond to the restaurant employee.

In the video released by police on Wednesday, an officer can be heard asking for the woman’s identification.

The driver, who appeared to have exited her vehicle before police advised her to get back in responded, “no, why?”

“We were called here because there’s an issue going on with you,” the officer said. “Not removing your car out of the drive-thru.”
