An intoxicated patron who was refused service called 911 and threatened to burn down City Fire at Lake Sumter Landing in The Villages.
A deputy responded to the popular restaurant and bar at 1018 Canal St. 41-year-old Edgardo Fernando Manosalva of Fruitland Park, who was apparently intoxicated, at 11:05 p.m. Saturday, according to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office. He called dispatchers to ask for police due to being refused service by “rude” staff.
When the deputy found him, he was still on the phone with dispatchers. He completely ignored the deputy, walked away from him and continued talking on the phone. So, the deputy instead spoke with the manager of City Fire who wanted Manosalva removed from the property, the report said.
Manosalva was subsequently told to leave and that he would be arrested if he came back to the eatery. He was also asked for ID, which he disregarded, refusing to identify himself or talk to the deputy, the report said…
