Mob Reported at Clarendon Cheesecake Factory Amid Free Cheesecake Promotion (https://www.arlnow.com/2018/12/05/developing-large-crowd-reported-at-clarendon-cheesecake-factory-amid-free-cheesecake-promotion/)
Not far from me. Fights broke out at the Cheesecake Factory as people stood in a long line to get free cheesecakes. Their cheesecakes are good.
Police were called to the area of the Cheesecake Factory at 2900 Clarendon Blvd earlier today for a report of a large crowd and heavy traffic in the area. Around 1 p.m., another dispatch went out for a fight in progress at the restaurant, though officers did not find an active fight when they arrived.
The culprit: the Cheesecake Factory is giving away free slices of cheesecake in honor of its 40th anniversary, but only to those who order on Doordash. The result, according to an Arlington County Police spokeswoman: an unruly crowd of delivery drivers inside the restaurant, trying to pick up orders, and a rash of double parking around the Clarendon area.
The scene was “a little hectic” and officers were working to bring order and “calm the situation down,” ACPD spokeswoman Ashley Savage told ARLnow.com (http://arlnow.com/).
During the fracas, according to Savage, one person refused police commands to leave the restaurant and a struggle with officers ensued. That person was arrested and is expected to be charged with disorderly conduct, Savage said. He requested to be transported to a local hospital by medics for evaluation of possible injuries.
