Accused of urinating on Panera…
Hyannis – Several Barnstable Police squad cars rushed to Panera Bread on Route 132 early this morning for a report of man relieving himself on the window in front of the sidewalk cafe.
A man drinking a large coffee and wearing a black hoodie denied the allegations.
Police viewed the store surveillance video and although it appeared he was possibly urinating, the footage was not conclusive enough to press charges.
Police also were unable to locate a puddle.
The man was trespassed from the establishment but was reluctant to leave at first. He appeared pissed off when cops told him he had no choice…
