Police: Woman Swilled Other Customers’ Drinks, Hit TGI Fridays Manager In Head With A Glass

It’s bad enough to purloin drinks from your fellow restaurant patrons, but police in upstate New York say one TGI Fridays customer added insult to injury by not only walking around sipping from other customers’ beverages, but she then allegedly smashed a drinking glass against the manager’s head after being told she’d have to leave.

The accused drink-stealer was cruising the restaurant around 9:30 on Monday night, reports Syracuse.com, tasting other people’s drinks. That didn’t go over well with anyone, so a manager asked her to leave, the police said.

But that didn’t go over too well with the suspect, who allegedly took a glass and hit the manager on the head. She suffered several cuts to one side of her head but declined medical treatment, a police rep said.

The suspect was then detained by mall security, with cops saying she spit on a mall security guard in the process. She’s been charged second-degree assault, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and second-degree harassment. Apparently there are no charges for (allegedly) getting your cooties all over innocent strangers’ drinks.
