North Stafford, Va. — If you didn’t purchase the food at Tony’s Pizza they won’t heat it up for you.
One man learned that Tuesday about 6 p.m. when he went into the popular pizza eatery on Va. 610 in North Stafford, took some food from a backpack and asked the restaurant owner to heat it up. The owner said no because he didn’t buy the food from the restaurant, and that’s when the hungry man became irate, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.
The man began to curse and threaten the owner and was told to leave. When he didn’t the owner grabbed a stick and, never hitting the man with it, used it to escort the man to the door, said Kennedy. The man continued to argue and that’s when the owner’s brother who was also at the restaurant ran to help, and was punched in the face by the irate man, said Kennedy.
The man fled the restaurant on foot toward a nearby Walmart. Police set up a search for him but were not able to find him.
He’s described as black, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, a baseball cap turned backward, gloves and sunglasses, said Kennedy.
Also in North Stafford, a resident returned home Monday to the 200 block of Sterling Court, off Mine Road and N. Vine Place, to find their home ransacked. An intruder apparently broke out a basement window and stole two computers, a gaming system, medication and loose change sometime between 3 a.m. and noon Monday, said Kennedy. No one was injured.
