A Philadelphia man faces charges of felony robbery and felony evading arrest on foot, as well as misdemeanor charges of simple assault and resisting arrest, 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, remains at Bucks County jail in lieu of 10% of $20,000 cash bail, per court records.

On Oct. 8, at 12:20 p.m., Warrington Police responded to the restaurant at 510 Easton Road for a reported robbery, where a Black male wearing a beanie and a black jacket, and 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, police said.

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. Police said the incident was captured on surveillance video.

Garrison-Ferguson, police allege, was found southbound on Easton Road by Amazon Fresh by police. Responding officers identified themselves as police, per the affidavit, and ordered Garrison-Ferguson to stop. He allegedly fled on foot with a skateboard, police said.

Police said officers chased him on foot to the area of Easton Road and Titus Avenue. Garrison-Ferguson resisted being taken into custody and a brief struggle happened, police said.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 4 at 9 a.m. before Magisterial District Judge Stacy Wertman.

All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
