Man flicks cigarette at Fleetwood Diner employee

By Lee Higgins

A man who was disappointed with his lunch flicked a cigarette at an employee of The Fleetwood Diner on Monday, leaving him with a burn to his forearm, an Ann Arbor police report said.

The incident occurred at about 2 p.m. after a man ate his lunch, complained about it, then left without paying his bill, the report said.

The man ordered a gyro and French fries and was upset because "it had onions and tomatoes on it," according to the report.

The man got into a silver Mazda minivan, then flicked a lit cigarette at the 23-year-old employee standing in front of the South Ashley Street diner, according to the report.

The incident occurred after the employee told the man he was traveling the wrong way on the street.

The man was described as white, in his mid-30s, 5 feet, 4 inches tall, 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a white button-down shirt and dark pants.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at (734) 794-6939.

Gyros always come with onions and tomatoes. I sort of expect it!

I feel sympathy for the staff, but part of the fun of dining at Fleetwood is the entertainment provided by certain patrons.

I assume the employee got the license plate number? Post that and I bet this connoisseur will be identified rather quickly.

Disappointed with your lunch at the Fleetwood? What were you expecting, fine cuisine? Didn't get as much grease as you ordered?
