A restaurant employee reportedly responded to getting fired by throwing biscuits and chicken all over the floor at the Ezell’s Famous Chicken outlet in Kent.
Officers arrested the man for investigation of third-degree malicious mischief for the damage he caused at about 4 p.m. on Sept. 28 at Ezell’s restaurant, 25616 102nd Place S.E., according to the police report.
When the man showed up for work he was told he no longer had a job and needed to go inside to sign some papers. The man reportedly had been showing up late for work.
When the man went inside, he walked behind a counter, grabbed a tray of biscuits and started to throw them. One biscuit hit a glass jar of pickled peppers that fell to the ground and shattered. He also picked up a platter of chicken and threw it on the ground.
Two employees hid in a corner to avoid getting hit by flying food. One employee said the fired man “freaked out.”
The disgruntled employee told police he threw the food because he had a “Frankenstein” moment and just had an explosion. The man said employees had disrespected him. He claimed he was never late for work.
Police banned the man from ever returning to the restaurant or be subject to a trespassing violation.
