NEWS OF THE DAY
An Immokalee man was squeezed behind bars after police say he became sour over the lack of lemonade at a local fast food restaurant.
Burger King manager Brenda Jackson, 51, said a drive-thru customer, later identified as Pedro Vargas, 36, of the 200 block of North 3rd Street, Immokalee, began screaming at her after she informed Vargas that the restaurant was out of lemonade on Sunday night.
Jackson said Vargas got out of his pick-up truck, reached through the drive-thru window and grabbed her by the shirt nearly pushing her down.
A female passenger in the vehicle was pleading for Vargas to settle down and let go, Jackson said.
Vargas eventually released Jackson, got back in his truck without ordering any food and went across the street to another fast food restaurant.
Witness Karen Guzman, 32, also a Burger King employee, said she saw the man, who wanted the lemonade, attack the manager.

HAPPY FLAG DAY
Working as a grade school teacher in Waubeka, Wisconsin in 1885, Bernard J. Cigrand held the first recognized formal observance of Flag Day at the Stony Hill School.
The school has been restored, and a bust of Cigrand also honors him at the National Flag Day Americanism Center in Waubeka.
From the late 1880s on, Cigrand spoke around the country promoting patriotism, respect for the flag, and the need for the annual observance of a flag day on June 14, the day in 1777 that the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes.
