A man died in custody after allegedly assaulting a Whataburger employee.
A man accused of screaming, yelling and tossing items at a Whataburger in Texas on Thanksgiving died in custody, local police said on Friday.
Assistant Chief Larry Satterwhite of the Houston Police Department said a white man in his 40s appeared to be in a « severe crisis » of some sort at the Whataburger on Bissonnet Street in Houston on Thursday. The man allegedly jumped on top of the counter, threw trash cans and dumped out jugs of tea, which led employees to evacuate the Whataburger.
« The male chased them out, attacked a female who was a manager at the restaurant, » Satterwhite said in a news conference .
