Two separate instances of diners not feeling the love.

Palos Hills police spent the early part of Valentine’s Day dealing with two uncooperative, less-than-romantic restaurant patrons in separate disturbances, according to reports.

Maria Koczur, 25, of Worth, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and littering after she was asked at about 4 a.m. to leave El Gallo, 10164 S. Roberts Road, because of her behavior, the report stated.

After she exited the restaurant, Koczur continued causing a disturbance in the parking lot, the report stated. She also threw a bottle on the sidewalk and walked away when police arrived, the report added.
