Man Demands Meat, Refuses To Leave Panda Express In Downers Grove

DOWNERS GROVE, IL — Police in Downers Grove are looking for a man who is accused of harassing employees at Panda Express after they refused to give him extra meat for free. The incident took place at 8:52 p.m. Sunday, just before the store closed for the day.

The victims told police that the man came in and made a food order and asked the employees to "give him all of the meat they had left." Police say the man justified this by telling employees that they were just going to throw away the meat when they closed anyway.

One employee reportedly told the man he'd have to pay extra to get the extra meat. Police say the suspect then got angry and demanded the extra meat for free.

When the employees refused, the suspect reportedly demanded that the employees dispose of the extra meat in front of him. He then started to film the employees with his cellphone, according to police, which made the staff feel "alarmed."

The suspect ultimately left the premises without taking any food and fled east on Ogden Avenue. He was last seen driving a newer gray Nissan Rogue or Acura.

Anyone with information is urged to call Downers Grove Police at 630-434-5600.
