PITTSBURGH —
A 55-year-old Pittsburgh restaurant owner was arrested in the city’s Allentown neighborhood after being accused of assaulting a woman early Saturday morning.
A criminal complaint states Richard DeShantz punched the woman while she was driving, slammed her head against the steering wheel, and choked her.
DeShantz owns the Richard DeShantz Restaurant Group, which operates popular establishments such as Meat and Potatoes and Butcher and the Rye.
A protection from abuse order was later filed against him.
