At a Saraland, Alabama Waffle House on April 22 at 2:45 a.m., 25-year-old Mobile resident Chikesia Clemons was wrestled to the ground and threatened by police during an arrest over 50 cent-cutlery. Blavity reported the victim told an employee that she did not previously have to pay the extra 50 cents for the four utensils. But the employee insisted that she had to pay. Then, the Waffle House employee reportedly canceled Clemons' order and police were called out after Clemons asked for the Waffle House district manager's contact information.
