I was there the next day - the guys working on Olly Fresco's were saying that it was pretty dead for their normal lunch rush and they figured that word of mouth about that happening was the reason. The landlord was grabbing a shawarma from them and when he heard that he was pretty concerned as well. But according to the Olly's guys the sheriff said they hadn't had to do it since last century so I don't think it's going to somehow become a regular thing that you'd need to worry about (I don't anyway as a lawyer). I just wasn't aware that there was a criminal code provision that allowed it to be done that way.
