Teenager Throws Tantrum In Solon Pizza Shop, Banned For Life

SOLON, OH — Pizza is serious business. An 18-year-old found that out when he went into a local pizza joint and threw a tantrum, bringing police to the scene and earning a lifetime ban from the establishment.

The incident started Nov. 2. The man ordered a pizza online. Apparently deciding he no longer wanted the pizza, the man then canceled his order.

When the charge to his debit card didn't immediately disappear, the man came into the Papa John's Pizza at 33411 Aurora Road, demanding answers. Police described him as "irate."

The man demanded to know why the charge hadn't yet been removed from his card. A store employee explained that it could take 24 to 48 hours for the charge to be removed. This did not go over well with the man.

The man became angry and kicked the entry door before leaving. End of story.

Except, it wasn't. He came back in and began grabbing items from the counter and throwing them around the store. He also made threatening comments before leaving again.

Police were called to the scene and, irony of ironies, the man's identity was quickly learned because Papa John's still had his personal information from the canceled pizza order.

The man was soon arrested and charged with menacing. He was also issued a warning for criminal trespassing. That warning effectively bans him from Papa John's for life, police said.
