Iannazzo told arresting officers that he was upset because a smoothie he'd ordered for his son gave the boy an allergic reaction due to the presence of peanut butter. Employees stated that although Iannazzo had asked for no peanut butter, he hadn't specified that it was an allergy request (which is generally handled with a lot more care). As a general tip, when you ask for "no PB," employees at most food service establishments will simply not add the peanut butter, but if you specify that it's due to a nut allergy, employees are obligated to follow cross-contamination protocols like changing gloves and using freshly-cleaned utensils to ensure food safety.
Iannazzo has since been charged with intimidation based on bigotry or bias, breach of peace, and criminal trespass.
