This is an "internal" matter that should have been resolved "internally"
Clearly, when the manager via phone call asked the girl employee to leave for the day - she agreed to do so.
That's all it took.
The person who called the cops is clueless of how to handle situations while employed by a corporation.
Should have been handled by the company - and looks like it could have been.
As I pointed out - it seems like it was never communicated to those 2 employees that he was filling in from another store and she was supposed to work "under" him.
That seems to be the overall genesis that started the whole issue.
So the store manager didn't communicate as she should have. Ultimately via phone call she did tell the girl employee to leave - so that solved the problem for that night.
Law enforcement shouldn't have ever been called here. But because they were, I guess they tried to handle things the best they could. I would have left right after the manager told girl employee to leave. The cop should have handed girl employee the phone so she could hear it herself. Instead she took it upon herself to have to call the manager right back.
I would have had the whole thing straightened out, were I involved. Mostly because of my communication skills and people skills. Not everyone has those and throw in the old ego and doesn't take much for things to get going the wrong way real quick.
My 2 cents.

I think everything you say here is correct but I'd like to add that the guy working there maybe did not feel safe enough to 'handle' this on his own. This part isn't clear, why he chose to call 911 instead of the off site manger. My experience with the girl's behavior has often been related to drugs.
Many interpret the word 'drugs' as something that is illegal and potent. Nothing could be further from the truth. While she may have had illegal substances in her, there are a lot of legal prescription drugs that cause irritability and aggression. She may or may not have had a prescription.
The fact that she became even more defiant as the situation escalated tells me she had a problem that was not necessarily a personality disorder, or that an underlying condition was triggered by ingested substances. There are so many that fit the bill it will take a comprehensive screening to determine if and what.
Do you think the PD ordered a blood test? I don't agree with the presenter's assessment. This runs deeper than "never told no growing up."
