A woman was arrested at an Applebee's restaurant in Portage,Charles H. Sloan Indiana earlier this month after an argument occurred about an "All You Can Eat" deal offered by the company.
The 28-year-old woman was arrested on Aug. 2 and charged with disorderly conduct, according to an arrest report obtained by USA TODAY.
According to the arrest report, officers with the Portage Police Department were dispatched to the Applebee's located at 6211 US Highway 6 around 8:38 p.m. on Aug. 2 for a reported "verbal disturbance." Police dispatchers advised responding officers that they heard "multiple females screaming" and "threatening people," one of the responding officers wrote in the arrest report.
When officers arrived on scene, they were met outside by multiple adults, including the woman, who said they had been involved in a verbal altercation with the Applebee's manager.

Group thought 'All You Can Eat' $15.99 deal covered everyone at the table
According to the arrest report, the group was under the impression that if one person at the table ordered the "All You Can Eat" deal, it was good for the entire table.
According to a July 29 news release from the restaurant chain, the "All You Can Eat" deal in question is one that offers endless boneless wings, riblets and double crunch shrimp, served with endless fries, for $15.99 per person.
When the manager informed the table that was not the case, and that each person would have to pay $15.99 for the deal, "words were exchanged," according to the arrest report. The group told police the manager became "very unprofessional" towards them, and that the manager said nowhere on the menu did it state the deal was "per person."
The responding officer said in the arrest report that the woman then handed him a menu, which showed the words "Per Person" underneath the bold letterings of "All You Can Eat." The officer said he showed that to the group, and while doing so, a couple was walking out of the restaurant.
Woman also engaged in argument with the couple
The woman pointed toward the couple and told the officer she had exchanged words with them earlier.
As the couple exited the restaurant, words were exchanged again, and the woman became "very loud and disorderly, attracting the attention of other patrons," according to the arrest report.
The officer wrote in the report that he warned the woman about disorderly conduct and that another person in the group tried to quiet her but was unable to. At one point, the person tried to place her hand over woman's mouth in another attempt to quiet her, but was again unable to.
Woman arrested, bill paid once misunderstanding was cleared up
The woman was then placed under arrest and was later transported to the Porter County Jail.
Another person in the group went back into the restaurant and paid the bill in full after realizing the menu stated the "All You Can Eat" deal was per person.
