Diner grabs teen waitress, gets punched by witness

The dad of a waitress wasn’t standing by when a diner became belligerent with his daughter Saturday in Jonesboro

JONESBORO, Ark. – A bit of a chaotic scene was described at a restaurant at 811 South Caraway Road Saturday in Jonesboro.

Police were dispatched at about 3 PM on Saturday, April 27 to take the report. The victim, 16, was the hostess and was serving a table where a male between 20 and 30 was seated. She reported he made several vulgar statements and was looking at her in a way that made her uncomfortable. She asked him to stop speaking to her in such a manner, she said, and he left soon after.

On his way out, events turned bad. The victim and witnesses both told the same version of events. The suspect allegedly grabbed the victim by her arm and pulled her while calling her a “bitch.”

The report said a witness, also an employee of the restaurant and the father of the hostess, saw this happened. He punched the suspect in the face. The suspect then left the scene.

The male was described as white, between 20 and 30 years of age, but not much other information was listed in the report.

He had not been contacted or identified as of the last update.
