Police: Man destroyed Chick-fil-A employee's cellphone

A Palm Bay man has been charged with burglary of a structure with a battery, robbery and grand theft after an incident on May 27 at a West Melbourne Chick-Fil-A.

According to the West Melbourne Police Department, 27-year-old Maynard Mazard complained that an order he made from a previous visit was wrong. Due to the fact this wasn't the first time Mazard had said this, they didn't give him a refund.

While at the establishment, Mazard thought he saw an employee taking his picture with a cell phone behind a glass window. As a result, Mazard walked behind the counter, entered the kitchen and accosted the employee by taking the phone out of his hand and throwing it to the floor and destroying it. The phone was valued at $700.

On Thursday, West Melbourne police obtained a warrant for Mazard's arrest and he was taken without incident into custody.

The charge of burglary with a battery is a first-degree felony and is punishable by life in prison. Mazard is currently being held at the Brevard County Jail without bond.

Mazard is scheduled for a first appearance before a judge at 1:15 p.m. today.
