Police guns cause stir at Belleville Denny’s
BELLEVILLE — Belleville’s police chief has banned his on-duty officers from Denny’s after several detectives were told they couldn’t have their guns inside - a dustup the restaurant calls a misunderstanding.
Police Capt. Donald Sax said the plain-clothed detectives had badges on their belts or around their necks while dining Tuesday morning, but a Denny’s manager told them they needed to take their guns back to their cars. That request came after a diner saw an officer was armed and complained, Sax said.
Sax said that although a detective identified the diners as officers, the manager still insisted the guns go back to their cars, citing a posted company policy barring anyone other than uniformed officers from carrying their guns into the restaurant.
