PEMBROKE PINES -- An Arby's employee in Florida accused of denying a police officer service for being a police officer says it was all a joke, not a refusal of service.
CBS Miami reports that Kenny Davenport, 19, said he was working when Pembroke Pines Police Sergeant Jennifer Martin pulled up to the drive thru window. But he says their interaction was a joke that was taken the wrong way.
According to a police report on the incident, Martin was told by a manager at the restaurant that an employee, now identified as Kenny Davenport, did not want to serve her. The manager allegedly said, "He doesn't want to serve you because you are a police officer."

If I were the manager, I would have fired this employee and sent the officer and department an apology and invite them to come back.
So she was served? Like always as more information comes out it dose not add up. Is it possible they made a joke and this officer over reacted? Pretty sure all stories up untill now she was saying she was refused service and that is not true. accept the apology and move on.
So STUPID!!!!
This entire situation between the cops and the black community has gone TOO FAR.
Everybody needs to get a grip, and behave like cilvilized humans,., BOTH SIDES!!
fire his worthless azz
The kid didnt even say it..the idiot manager said he said. Why fire the kid...i cant believe he said hes colored..havent heard that in a while
If the role were reversed they would have burned the place down. Just saying.
Social media, the curse of our times. That and some of the most ignorant people ever using it.
social media, tattle-tale tattle tale hanging on a bulls tails only now instead of tattling just to the teacher or adult in charge they tattle to the whole world.
Here's the irony. According to press reports the MANAGER was fired, I assume because she was the one that relayed the message to the cop that the server didn't want to serve the cop. But on the other hand, the server was suspended, and allowed to keep his job. The one that refused service kept his job, and the messenger was fired. Arby's, and the manager, both acted wrongly. It goes without question that the server was derelict. Both the manager and the "BLM" racist employee should have been fired. If the manager did her job, she should have immediately had the officer served (for free), apologized, and then disciplined the employee. Handled properly, this would not have become news.
I don't play and I hate practical jokes.
I don't care what the excuse is. The piece of garbage should be fired.
Nice picture of the officer. He must be doing undercover work.
4:07 that is not the Officer, that is the POS that worked in Arby's.
One of Obama's girls.
He should be terminated as policy dictates
Absolutely
Most fast food workers just give cops the food, but they have previously spit on it.
