Puyallup Denny's Patrons Form 'Wall Of Bodies' To Block Drunk Man: Police

PUYALLUP, WA - If there's one thing you should know about Puyallup, it's that you should never, ever mess with breakfast.

A belligerent drunk man found that out the hard way after a group of Denny's patrons on Sunday morning banded together to eject and block him from the restaurant.

According to Puyallup police, the man was at the Denny's eating with his sister around 10:15 a.m. The man was apparently already drunk, but was also having some wine with breakfast. As things go with alcohol, the man eventually started fighting with his sister, and then started fighting with the employees. He started swearing and throwing things, police said.

That's when the patrons stepped in.

Customers restrained the man and escorted him out of the restaurant, police said. When the drunk tried to re-enter the restaurant, they used their bodies to deny him. Police said they "basically formed a wall of bodies" at the entrance.

Police arrested the drunken man, but his rampage didn't end there. At the jail, he broke a part of his cell door, and clogged a toilet, flooding the cell. The man was eventually taken to the Pierce County Jail, and is facing several charges including disorderly conduct, first-degree criminal trespass, and second-degree malicious mischief.
