Two men arrested for 'refusing to give cops their White Castle sliders'

Two men are suing the NYPD after they claim they were arrested for refusing to hand over their White Castle hamburgers to police officers.



The lawsuit relates to any incident that occurred at Halloween 2012 in Coney Island, as the neighborhood was still suffering from the effects of Superstorm Sandy.

Danny Maisonet and Kenneth Glover, both from Brooklyn, New York, were exiting a taxicab with a bag full of White Castle sliders when they approached by cops rounding up a group of men suspected of looting.

Danny Maisonet and Kenneth Glover, from Brooklyn, New York, claim cops demanded their White Castle sliders and when they refused to hand them over they were arrested

The cops demanded the bag of food, according to the lawsuit filled in Brooklyn Federal Court by lawyer Robert Marinelli.



When the two men refused to hand over their burgers, they claim they were hit with the cop's flashlights and handcuffed, reports The Daily News.

They were later charged with obstructing government administration and disorderly conduct, but not with looting.



Police officer Angelo Pizzarro swore in his complaint that the two men stood in his way and forced him to walk around them while he struggling with the alleged looters.
