The 25-year-old defendant, whose name was redacted from a report released by police, ordered a “personal pan pizza with extra cheese” last Monday morning from a Pizza Hut in the village of Weston.

About five minutes after the man left the restaurant with his order, his girlfriend returned, pizza in hand, and said it “wasn’t right and it didn’t have enough cheese on it.” A worker offered to remake the pizza, but “assured her it would be the same as the first pizza,” according to an Everest Metro Police Department report.

A few minutes later, the "agitated" male customer reappeared in the Pizza Hut and began “yelling, screaming, and acting strange,” according to a witness. The man refused an offer of a new pizza and made a comment about employees possibly spitting in his food.

A Pizza Hut employee who told police she was “afraid because of the male’s yelling and screaming” called 911. While the customer and his girlfriend were gone when officers arrived at the restaurant, a Pizza Hut manager provided cops with the license plate of the couple’s vehicle and the phone number from which their takeout order was placed.
