CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — Several teenagers are facing criminal charges after a big fight inside the Eden Way Chipotle in Chesapeake last Friday, police said.
The chaotic scene was captured on video by a viewer, the mother of an employee who was at the restaurant when the fight broke out. It shows people exchanging words, then it escalates. Fists start flying, and then feet. At one point, a male jumps over the counter while attempting to kick an employee.
Officers were called to the Chipotle at 836 Eden Way N. last Friday, Feb. 9, for a report of a fight. Police determined it all started after a dispute between employees, then family members got involved.
When officers arrived, they separated those involved in the fight and interviewed them. Officers learned that a teenage employee and restaurant management got into an argument. According to police, the argument turned into a physical dispute when the teen’s family arrived at the restaurant.
10 On Your Side was told these events began when employee Saquoia Diggs refused to take a position at the register. The store’s service manager, Tatiana, then told her to clock out and go home.
