Restaurant owner arrested for choking customer over cold fries

The owner of a popular wing chain in Memphis has been accused of choking a customer after she complained of cold french fries.

At Crumpy’s Hot Wings, a customer picking up her order complained to owner Donald Crump about the cold fries. Crump refused, telling her she was late picking up her order, which the woman admitted was true to WMC Action News 5.

The woman tells WREG after Crump refused to issue a refund she pushed her food over the counter and it fell on the floor.

She said, “He pushed me into the fishbowl and he did it with his two hands and he literally started choking and strangling me like barely could breathe. He said don’t disrespect my store as he was choking me.”

Witnesses have confirmed the account to WREG, but Crump says video surveillance will prove his innocence.
