Security Guard Used K-9 Charges at Black Man Walking Away In New Jersey Restaurant Parking Lot After Alleged Dress Code Violation
Video footage shows New Jersey restaurant after a security guard and a K-9 charged at a Black man in the restaurant’s parking lot. The video was posted on social media by a woman who identified herself as the mom of the man whom the guard and dog charged at outside of the Adelphia Restaurant in New Jersey.
“This happened to my son lastnight at Adelphias in deptford,” Tamika Hollywood wrote Facebook on July 31. The man has been identified as 26-year-old Khalif Hunter.
Deptford Police says in a statement Thursday that the incident is under investigation.
“A private Security Officer, contracted by Adelphia Restaurant, deployed a K-9 dog during a disturbance in the Adelphia Restaurant parking lot,” the statement read. “It should be noted that neither the K-9 Handler, nor the K-9 dog were members of the Deptford Township Police Department. They were members of a private Security agency contracted by Adelphia Restaurant.”
The video starts with a group of people standing in a parking lot. The dispute allegedly began after Hunter refused to remove his hat at the restaurant. In the video, Hunter stands up from sitting on the curb then walks away from the camera. Moments later, a security guard and a K-9 charged him and the video ends as the dog appears to bite at his leg.
Hollywood posted photos of her son’s injuries, which shows a puncture wound to his leg and an injury to his hand. “My son had on his hat lastnight at Adelphias they ask to remove it I guess he moved to slow an then this happen,” she wrote.
Hunter, a graduate of Rutgers University, told WHYY he was at the restaurant around 12:50 a.m. on July 29 when he was told to take off his hat because it was a dress code violation. Hunter put the hat back on when he moved toward an outside deck where hats were allowed. However, then decided to check it and was writing his name on a piece of paper to put in the hat when a worker said, “Don’t worry about it, you have to leave,’” Hunter said. “And I said, ‘I have to leave because I was wearing a hat? I’m a paying customer like everyone else, and there’s a lot of people inside wearing hats.’”
