Cops Corner

June 2 supreme being 5:16 p.m. - 2800 block of Ringling Boulevard. Dispute/Fight. The manager of a pizzeria called officers after a customer called the store demanding free pizza. The manager said that, three days earlier, the same customer came in and asked for another pizza because his pizza tasted strange. At first, the manager said that he couldn't give the customer another pizza without a receipt, but eventually gave him a new pizza because the customer was getting upset. On Monday, the customer called the store and said he wanted a free pizza or else he would beat up the manager. The customer came to the store and apologized prior to police arriving.
