About two hours later, the officer went back to Wendy’s in reference to the same man refusing to leave and also trying to fight an employee. The employee was working on remodeling the building when he noticed an intoxicated male enter the building and start cursing. The employee told the man he needed to leave because Wendy’s was closed. The man then went outside and walked around to the other side of the building and started pounding on the doors. The employee then asked the man to leave again, and the man started to “puff up” and said, “What are you going to do about it?’’ The officer also spoke with the manager of Wendy’s, and she had the same story as the employee. The officer then asked the man why he returned to Wendy’s after he had been told not to. The man said he returned because he is Navajo, and he cursed at the employees of Wendy’s because they would not give him his food order. The man was arrested and transported to the jail; at the jail the man took a PBT test and blew a 0.305. The man was issued a summons for disturbing the peace and trespass.
