Witnesses at the scene reported that the altercation began when Bernabeu and Fajardo, who were standing in the drive-through lane because the restaurant’s dining room was closed, got into an argument with occupants of a vehicle also waiting in the drive-through.
During the confrontation, witnesses told deputies that both suspects “picked up sticks” as weapons.
Bernabeu and Fajardo were arrested and subsequently charged with disturbing the peace and resisting arrest.
