One toque over the line: Police say they nab an Applebee's chef impersonator

Boston Police report a family had finished looking at their check at the Applebee's at the South Bay mall last night when a man dressed in a white chef's coat approached and said he could take care of their credit card:

The victim thought he was an Applebee's employee and handed the male the bill and the credit card. They realized it was a scam as the suspect fled the restaurant and the family chased the suspect into the parking lot.

Officers and a police dog gave chase:

The K-9 officer, along with his partner Tiburon, was chasing the suspect when the suspect took an aggressive stance towards the officer striking him in the face with his elbow. At that time the officer commanded his partner to take the suspect down. The suspect was apprehended at 172 Boston Street.

Darren Killeen, 35, was charged with larceny, assault and battery on a police officer and resisting arrest. Before he could stew in a local lockup, he was transported to Boston Medical Center for injuries sustained in the struggle.
