OUTBACK STEAKHO– USE APOLOGIZES TO OFFICER FOR BEING ASKED TO LEAVE
A corporate restaurant has apologized to a TWRA Agent who was asked to leave a Cleveland location because he was carrying a firearm. In a Facebook post, TWRA Officer Andrew Ward stated that a manager at the Outback Steakhouse in Cleveland asked him to remove his sidearm because the restaurant was a “gun-free zone,” and because a woman sitting nearby was afraid. Corporation Heads have apologized to Ward for what they are calling “a mistake.” They say that law officers have always been able to wear their guns inside the restaurants. Along with the apology, Ward was given a $100 gift certificate that can be used at any Outback several times.
