2 Arrested After Dispute Over Crab Legs Turns Violent
NBC Connecticut ^ | 4/4/2016 | Staff

Police in Manchester, Connecticut arrested a husband and wife after an argument at Royal Buffet got out of hand on Saturday night.

Manchester police say they were called to 410 West Middle Turnpike for a dispute that started as an argument over crab legs at the buffet table and escalated into a physical confrontation. During the scuffle, a 21-year-old man was punched in the face and lost a tooth.

That man's mother jumped in and used pepper spray on her son's attackers. Her actions were in self-defense and she is not facing any charges, according to police.

Police arrested Clifford Knight, 45, and Latoya Knight, 38, both of Windsor. Clifford Knight is charged with third-degree assault and disorder conduct. Latoya Knight is charged with disorderly conduct and threatening. Police said the suspects are husband and wife.

Clifford Knight was released on a $5,000 non-surety bond and Lataya Knight was released on a $2,500 non-surety bond. They are both expected in court on April 14.

The Manchester Fire Department responded to vent out the restaurant after the pepper spray was deployed.

The restaurant had to close while the health department assessed the air quality, but the restaurant said they opened for business at the usual time Sunday.

Well, redneck brawls happen in other colors too.

They certainly weren't rednecks to start with, they were halfwits.

Also 20% of the population and 90% of the ridiculous restaurant fights, assaults and acting like assholes in public. I don't have a link for this but it is actually common knowledge much like I don't need to have a link to post proving the Sun is big and hot.

Facts are facts not racism. I wish people could get this through their heads and quit making excuses for their foul and thuggish behavior.

True, not every hot head was on a red neck.

Now days very few of the trouble makers have a red neck.

Red necks didn’t destroy LA,Ferguson or Baltimore and they never play the knockout game or sell drugs at schools either.
