We received quite a few emails and phone calls so we have decided to provide a short report on the incident at AppleBees Saturday evening around 10:50PM, according to 911 dispatch.

However, by the time police arrived the incident was already calming down. There were a large number of police vehicles in the parking lot which made it seem like a much bigger incident.

The reason for the large police response was because the T.H.P. just happened to be in town for the Governor’s Highway Safety Program. They do bar checks and roadblocks. Well, they just happened to be at BobKatz located just next door at 3548 Tom Austin Hwy.

There were no charges made, no arrests and no police reports at the scene. However, we have heard that a few people called later to say they were assaulted.

The large police presence helped calm the situation quickly and made it a little easier for servers to peruse the parking lot for the non-payers but we were told a good number still slipped away. Another insider told Smokey that AppleBees lost over $600.00 and some glasses were broken.
