Police said the man the awning needs to be replaced.
Can anyone assist us in identifying this man? The awning was damaged beyond repair and had to be replaced because of his actions. If you’re wondering, his behavior is his reaction to Cazadores Restaurant not being able to serve him food after their kitchen had closed. pic.twitter.com/AR3XaZRxK7
