When the young intruder noticed that an employee of the family-owned restaurant had started to call the police, Blackwelder-Baggett ordered her to put the cell phone down.
Sean Gharibi, the owner of Delta's, seized upon the moment of distraction to grab Blackwelder-Baggett by the throat: "He was scared and shaking and begging me to let him go," Gharibi told KEYE TV.
Gharibi then threw the suspect out, KEYE TV reported. As Blackwelder-Baggett backed up his car to drive away from the restaurant, the female employee noted the license plate number and reported the information to the Austin Police, who then traced the registration number to the home of Blackwelder-Baggett...
Blackwelder-Baggett, who has been charged with first degree felony of aggravated battery, is currently being held at the Travis County Correctional Complex in Del Valle, Texas. His bond is set at $50,000.
The owners of Delta's Restaurant declined to comment, and the Austin Police Department could not be reached for comment.
