How To Turn A Summary Dine and Dash Into A Felony In Warrington
by Alex Lloyd Gross
On October 8,2024, Warrington Police said that Amir Garrison-Freguson 30, from Philadelphia was hungry and walked into the Chickie and Pete’s located on the 500 block of Easton Road, in Warrington. He was served his order and then left without paying. When the manager approached him to get him to pay, Freguson is alleged to have assaulted him.
Employees watched him go north on Easton Road when they called police. Freguson saw patrol cars and then fled near the Amazon store. When officers tried to talk with him, he assaulted them and then police said he wrestled with officers in the middle of traffic on Easton Road, until he could be handcuffed.
Since he did not pay for his food, It’s a safe bet he did not have bail money on him either. Fruguson was remanded to the Bucks County Prison under $20,000 bail or 10 percent.
Had he not fought with police, he would have been charged with a summary theft of services. Instead He now has to answer for a felony robbery charge and charges of resisting arrest, fleeing and eluding as well as simple assault.
