MIDVALE, Utah, Dec. 23, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — A 24-year-old woman was arrested Friday after she allegedly used a gun to threaten a worker at a Dave’s Hot Chicken in Midvale after he tried to remove her from the area behind the restaurant’s counter.
The incident happened at 11:32 p.m., says a court document filed in the Unified Police arrest of Leslie Diana Figueroa Rodriguez.
“Leslie passed the front counter inside the restaurant to enter the kitchen, saying she wanted to speak with an employee she stated she was related to,” the probable cause statement says.
“The victim attempted to escort Leslie back out to the lobby of the restaurant. At this point, Leslie was seen on camera and by multiple witnesses lifting her shirt, reaching for her waistband, drawing a gun, still pointed at the ground, only a few inches above her waist, and cocking the gun, and putting it back to leave.
“Leslie cocking the weapon showed her intent to cause serious bodily injury or create a substantial risk of bodily injury. An unfired bullet was later recovered at the scene. The victim stated Leslie pulled the weapon and yelled, ‘don’t touch me!’ which scared him.”
Rodriguez was arrested for investigation of aggravated assault, a third-degree felony.
