Woman unhappy with restaurant service throws plate of food
A female patron at Spaghetti Warehouse, 36 W. Fifth St., allegedly caused a dramatic scene Monday evening when she was unhappy with her service, according to a police report.
In the report, the restaurant manager said he was called over to talk to a female who was unhappy after ordering her food and was being rude to the staff. She was there with several children and another female.
Since she was causing a loud disturbance in the restaurant, the manager told police that he asked them to leave. At that time, she allegedly stood up and took a plate of food with her to the front of the store. She proceeded to throw the plate into a glass display case and walk out the front door, the report states.
The manager took down a description of the female’s car as she left, but police did not immediately locate her.
TweetPolice: Woman, who could not wait, made up story to get cops to hurry
A woman, who police said told them she didn’t want to wait, called in a theft in progress in hopes of a quick response was, instead, charged with misdemeanor obstructing official business.
According to Dayton police, the woman called 9-1-1 Tuesday morning to report someone was rifling through her car. An officer responded with lights and sirens to the call. Once the officer arrived, he reported he was greeted by the grinning woman, who reported there was no suspect, that the car break-in occurred the night before.
According to the police report, the officer noted the woman was quite pleased with her stratagem. She said she made up the story in order to get a faster response.
The officer wrote he explained to the woman he had sped to the scene — at times traveling 50 mph — using his sirens and lights to respond to her call. He told her he had put his safety and the safety of others at risk, believing from her call there was an imminent danger to her and the public.
The woman said she did not care about that, stating, “I don’t like to wait,” according to his report. The officer further reported the woman was loud and disorderly to the point he could not hear his radio when the dispatcher called him to check on his safety because he had been dispatched on a priority call. Not hearing a response from the officer, the dispatcher called for other crews to respond to the scene.
Once the officer realized the situation, he contacted dispatch to call off the other units and update the call to show the woman lied about a suspect on scene.
When told she was being charged with obstruction, the woman again responded she didn’t care because she didn’t like to wait, according to the officer’s report.
As he was doing the paperwork on her complaint on the previous night’s car break-in, the woman again called 9-1-1, asking the dispatcher to order police not to “stop staring at her,” according to the police report.
