A Crab Du Jour customer who had a drink thrown in her face by the manager of a local franchise, has hired an attorney to help her seek justice. A month after the incident, the employee has been fired and cited with a disorderly conduct charge, but the woman believes he should suffer a far greater penalty.
On Aug. 16, while complaining about her meal at the popular restaurant at 4638 S. 76th St. in Greenfield, Wisconsin, Mariah Luckette was assaulted by Jason Diong, the former location manager. As a result of his actions, the woman says she has suffered eye damage and mental health challenges.
According to Luckette, she had never had a problem with food from the restaurant before but this time the food was “nasty.”
She said, “My food was nasty, the corn was hard, the potatoes was hard. I told Jason, look this is my friend’s first time here, I done bragged about this place and y’all bring out these plates.”
However, when she asked for a new meal, Diong had an attitude. Nervous about him possibly spitting in her food, she asked for someone else to prepare … and if that could not be accommodated, she said she wasn’t going to pay.https://www.youtube.com/embed/E8XTluyhlaI?feature=oembed
After that, Diong escalated the situation, requiring members of the Greenfield Police Department to be notified about the incident.
Diong says that’s not what happened. Though he did not report this to the police, during an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, he said he tossed the drink in her face because she called him a racial slur, demeaning his Asian identity.
The man told the responding officer he assaulted the woman because she said she was going to leave and not pay for the food.
On the police bodycam, the manager could be heard saying, “I throw a glass of water at her. She just reacted and throw something back to me. I shouldn’t have, but I’m really frustrated.”
