Diners at an Old Country Buffet restaurant in
Washington state recently called police to report a 26-
year-old man, who allegedly used his own urine to
wash down his meal.
According to police, a man identified as Ryan Bravo
entered the Kennewick restaurant with an unidentified
woman around 6 p.m. Saturday. Kennewick is a city in
the southeastern part of the state.
The woman left after buying a meal for Bravo. That’s
when, police say, things took a bizarre turn.
“Bravo stood up, urinated into a plastic cup and then
drank the contents while standing at this table in the
dining room,” Kennewick Police Sgt. Ken Lattin said in
a press release about the incident.
Several people in the restaurant complained about
Bravo’s alleged behavior and he was asked to leave.
Police arrived on the scene shortly thereafter and took
the man into custody as he was walking away from the
restaurant.
Despite the incident, not all of the diners at Old Country
Buffet lost their appetite.
“That didn’t stop us from coming to eat. We’re just
hungry,” customer Antonio Ramos told local CBS
affiliate KEPR-TV. ”
“He can do whatever he wants as long as he doesn’t
pee in the food,” added customer Jorge Medina.
Bravo, who police say is homeless, was charged with
public urination. He has also been banned from setting
foot on the property for five years.
