I just can't believe this guy

West Bend - When Kevin Hansen visited the local Texas Roadhouse restaurant for dinner with family and friends last Saturday, he was served more than the nationwide chain's promise of "legendary food."

Hansen showed up at the police station Sunday complaining of hair in his steak.

"I started eating it," he said in an interview. "I noticed the hair after three bites."

A West Bend police officer observed "several strands of what appeared to be hair coming out of the middle of the steak," a criminal complaint says.

Ryan Kropp, 24, of West Bend, one of the two cooks responsible for steaks at the restaurant Saturday night, admitted to police that he placed a few of his own facial hairs on the steak, the criminal complaint says.

Kropp said he was angry with the customer for sending a different steak back to the kitchen earlier in the evening after telling a manager it was overcooked.

Kropp was charged Wednesday with placing foreign objects in edibles, a felony. If convicted, Kropp could face a fine of up to $10,000 and up to 3 1/2 years of imprisonment. He was released from jail Wednesday afternoon on a signature bond.

Hansen said that he had asked for a 16-ounce ribeye to be cooked medium rare - with a warm, red center - but it showed up medium, the criminal complaint says.

When restaurant service manager Michael Liberatore stopped by Hansen's table, the customer said the steak was overcooked but declined Liberatore's offer of a new steak.

Liberatore was persistent, the complaint says, and offered to provide Hansen with a new steak he could take home.

The manager then took what was left of the original steak to the kitchen and showed it to Kropp and the other cook "so that they could both learn what a medium rare steak was supposed to look like," the complaint says.

Kropp told police only a small piece of the first steak was returned to him. Since most of it had been eaten, he thought the customer was "just trying to get free stuff," according to the criminal complaint.

A second worker in the kitchen told an officer that Kropp placed the second steak on a plate, cut a slit in the center of the steak and pushed something into the meat.

The worker said Kropp then stated, "These are my pubes," in reference to pubic hair. Kropp next flipped the steak over on the plate so that the cut side was not visible, the criminal complaint says.

Kropp was suspended from his job at West Bend's Texas Roadhouse on Sunday, immediately after the local managing partner learned of the allegation, said Travis Doster, a spokesman for the chain of 285 restaurants. "We will be conducting an investigation of the charges and will terminate him if this is proven," Doster said. "We will not tolerate this conduct."

That happened at my work too. A guy brought a gun in and showed another guy. He said something two days later and they both got walked out.
