Two of the three people wanted in connection with a brawl at a Plano restaurant earlier this month are in custody and investigators are looking for a third who is at large, police say.
According to Plano Police, kids selling chocolate bars inside the Hooters along the 700 block of Central Expressway got into a fight at about 7 p.m. on Oct. 6 after being asked to leave.
Restaurant management told police the same group had been to the business in the past and left without incident when they were asked to leave but that this time they got upset, smashed a window with an ashtray stand and attacked a manager and a customer.
The manager suffered a broken arm in the attack and the customer had an unspecified injury to his head. Other customers, police said, were injured by flying glass.
