A Philadelphia man was arraigned this month and begins the pre-trial process in Bucks County Common Pleas Court on felony charges of robbery and evading arrest on foot for allegedly skipping out on a $26 bill at Chickie’s & Pete’s on Easton Road and assaulting a manager in the process.
Amir Tellious Garrison-Ferguson, 30, of 7000 block of Thouron Avenue, is free on 10% of $20,000 cash bail, per court records, and is also charged with misdemeanor counts of simple assault and resisting arrest in the Oct. 8 incident in Warrington Township.
On Oct. 8, at 12:20 p.m., Warrington Police responded to the restaurant at 510 Easton Road for a reported robbery, where Garrison-Ferguson, carrying a skateboard, ran out without paying for his food, police said.
On scene, police met with a manager who said Garrison-Ferguson came in and order $25.95 worth of food, per the affidavit. When the server went to hand him his bill, Garrison-Ferguson allegedly headed toward the door and did not pay for the bill.
The manager was blocking the door to stop Garrison-Ferguson from leaving, but he allegedly pushed the manager away from the door to leave the restaurant, with the incident captured on surveillance video.
Garrison-Ferguson was found southbound on Easton Road by Amazon Fresh by police, authorities said. Responding officers identified themselves as police, and ordered Garrison-Ferguson to stop, but he allegedly fled on foot with a skateboard, police said.
Police said officers chased him to the area of Easton Road and Titus Avenue. Garrison-Ferguson resisted being taken into custody and a brief struggle happened, police said.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
