When the couple returned to their seat and noticed the half eaten sandwich, they notified employees of the restaurant. At this point, the suspect was asked to pay his bill and leave the location. Approximately twenty-five minutes later, the same suspect attempted to re-enter the establishment. Since restaurant employees recognized him, access was denied.
