Arrest Warrant Issued for Man Who Spit Water on Qualia Coffee Employees Last Month

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to Matt for passing on from Qualia:

“Just want to update everyone on the status of the arrest warrant that resulted from our staff having water spit on them last month by Jonathan Hedgpeth, who apparently has a history of harassing service workers and women in particular.

As of yesterday, we heard that the arrest warrant has been signed and once the police know his location, they will serve it. If anyone sees him, the absolute best thing you can do is call the police and let them know where you saw him. Please, please do not interact with him yourselves.

Thank again to everyone who sent their support and provided us with the information we requested.”
