Two months ago, Tignor was accused of throwing hot grease on 43-year-old Robert Williams during an incident at the Wing Stop, 2115 E. Hillsborough Avenue.
Williams said he was at the business and became upset having to wait an ex- tended period of time for his food.
Williams admits that he threw a cup of soda at the
manager. However, he denies having leapt over the counter and attacked the manager.
A scuffle ensued between him and an unidentified male employee. Williams alleges that as the scuffle continued, employee, identified as 31- year-old Eddie Tignor, al- legedly came from the back and poured hot oil on Williams.
Williams further said that he suffered burns over 80% of his body. He was burned on his back, buttocks, right arms, and inner thighs. A self-employed mechanic, Williams has been released from Tampa General Hospi- tal and is continuing to re- cover at home.
Tignor has not been ar- rested in connection with this incident. The Tampa Police report stated that the case has been referred to the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office for further investigation.
