‘Grab Now, Pay Later’

A man who grabbed a server’s buttocks was kept from leaving the restaurant’s parking lot because of a flat tire, police said.

Bryan L. Beard, 33, of 300 block of West 91st St., Chicago, was charged with battery on Feb. 23.

An 18-year-old server at Hooters Restaurant, 9159 S. Cicero Ave., waited on Beard and his friend around 6:38 p.m. While they were eating and drinking, Beard kept flirting with the server, reports said.

As Beard was leaving, he allegedly grabbed the server’s buttocks. Both men left the restaurant and got into Beard’s 1978 Oldsmobile. They were unable to leave the lot because of a flat tire.

The server contacted Oak Lawn police. Police found Beard inside his car who appeared to be highly intoxicated, the report said. He denied grabbing the server.

Beard was issued with a village citation for battery and has a March 20 hearing date at Oak Lawn Village Hall.
