ANNVILLE, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania police chief says no criminal charges will be filed against a chicken wing restaurant owner accused of using a racial slur toward a black customer.

Ricky Bugg, Jr., a junior at Lebanon Valley College, says he and his friend were waiting for their order Sunday when Chris Behney told him he didn't need their business and used the slur. Bugg says the co-owner also told him he can say whatever he wants now that Donald Trump is president.

Annville Police Chief Bernard Dugan said Friday that the Just Wing It co-owner's actions were "totally inappropriate" and confirmed Behney used a slur to describe the customer. However, Dugan says he couldn't confirm Behney refused to serve Bugg based on his race.

A message seeking comment from Behney wasn't immediately returned Friday.

1. Maybe it's time that restaurant owner lost customers. They should eat at another place

as should all their friends. Let the owner go for broke.

2. Well, he's an idiot but he broke no law.

He can say what he wants
And everyone can also eat elsewhere and ruin his dumbass business

3. On the other hand - his YELP rating is taking a pounding

some the comments are downright hilarious...

If you're sick of the same old Lebanon bologna, then goose-step on down and get some wings! They'll make you heil with delight! Crawl out from under whatever rock you and your klan buddies have been living under, and show your sister wives an evening full of fantastic fried foods made with the loving touch of an intolerant imbecile! Also I heard Skrewdriver is playing there soon.

4. The people of Annville should dine elsewhere but since I live in rural PA, I doubt many will. What

a disgrace.

5. Piece of shit.

Fuck them all.
