Wieners Circle offering reward for arrest of anti-masker who smashed window of Lincoln Park hot dog shop – WLS-TV

CHICAGO (WLS) — The Wiener’s Circle is offering a reward to find the man who was caught on surveillance video vandalizing the popular Lincoln Park hot dog shop on Wednesday night over a mask dispute.

The incident happened at the store in the 2600-block of North Clark Street at 8:40 p.m., Chicago police said.

The man entered the restaurant and refused to put on a face mask, according to police.

Police said the man became angry and threw snow at the employees and left in a car. He then came back and was caught on camera throwing a brick at the front door, breaking the glass. No one was injured.

The Wiener’s Circle said it will give away two bulls tickets or a throw a party for anyone who helps lead police to the suspect.

“I hope he gets caught,” said the general manager Evelyn Morris. “We y we are all in fear of this COVID but we don’t want to be a target for people that don’t want to wear a mask or comply by the laws.”

The restaurant tweeted a photo of their repaired door saying they’re, quote, “hot on the trail” of the vandal.

Thursday morning, a guard at the McDonalds at State and Chicago had a chair thrown at him by a would-be customer after asking to see his vaccine card. That man is in custody.
