An intoxicated Plainfield man was so irate over being locked out of Burger King he stripped off his clothes and struck an officer a few times, police said.
Officers were sent about 2:15 a.m. Sunday to the East Jefferson Street Burger King in Shorewood after employees complained of a man standing outside the drive-thru and pounding on the window, Deputy Police Chief Eric Allen said.
“He was visibly upset the business was closed and was banging on the drive-thru, screaming at the employees inside,” Allen said. “He was heavily intoxicated.”
Manuel Silverio, 30, hit the window one more time after police arrived and “proceeded to strip naked, then put his pants back on,” Allen said.
The officers determined no one was injured and no property damaged, Allen said, and contacted one of Silverio’s relatives to come pick him up.
A police sergeant tried to help Silverio back into his shirt, Allen said, and Silverio hit him.
The officers handcuffed Silverio and sat him on the curb, Allen said, and after he calmed down took the cuffs off him.
Silverio repeatedly tried to stand up and the sergeant placed his hand on his shoulder, Allen said, so Silverio hit him in the face and again in the chest.
Silverio then was arrested. He was booked into the Will County jail on charges of public indecency, resisting a police officer and aggravated battery.
Silverio was scheduled to appear in court Monday afternoon for a bond hearing.
“He was heavily intoxicated.”
All good stories usually start here.
Seems like a perfectly reasonable response to the situation.
With what did he strike the officer???
My thoughts exactly.
A jingle I remember from the 1960's when Burger King was mostly a Florida company.
When my brother filled out the paperwork for his concealed carry permit, they asked him why he needed it. His reply, “I eat at Burger King.”
“It’s not Christmas. ... It’s not my birfday. I know, it’s unbelievable.”
I love Burger King food , but ,LOL
Was he from Florida?
“Manuel Silverio, 30, hit the window one more time after police arrived and “proceeded to strip naked, then put his pants back on,”
Just another symptom of global warming. He wouldn’t do this in January in Alaska.
Yes he would, because Manuel Silverio *IS* Al Gore.
Also, he invented the whopper, so he can have one whenever he wants
Oh come on. Who among hasn’t reacted the same way when the restaurant we go to is closed?
The window was closed, so he was trying to show the employees that he wanted a weenie...that’s all.
“Burger King was closed, so man stripped naked in street, police said”
A Burger King? For a McDonalds, I’d understand. Other than that, perfectly logical.
I wonder which state this is in?
I wouldn’t even want to make a guess.
