As she began recording him, police said Louis grabbed a donut tray and said he would take it if he didn\u2019t receive a refund.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Police said Louis noticed he was being recorded and threw the tray at the employee before kicking her in the stomach, causing her to lose her balance and fall. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">They said Louis then ran out of the restaurant and fled in a 2022 gray Honda Pilot. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The employee suffered a minor chin cut and stomach pain but refused to be taken to a hospital. Police said they obtained her cellphone video, which showed Louis throwing the tray before the recording ended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Miramar police later stopped Louis\u2019 SUV, and he was later identified by the employee, leading to his arrest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Jamaican native was being held Tuesday afternoon at the Broward Main Jail on a battery charge. His bond was set at $2,500.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2025 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. \u2014 A 36-year-old man was arrested Monday after police said he assaulted a Dunkin\u2019 employee&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60378,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-60377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
