3 hurt, chili dogs stolen in assault on South Detroit

It seemed like a good idea at the time — some chili dogs after a day at the pool. But the cravings of others apparently were greater.

Johnathon Martin, 18, and three friends headed over to Netty’s, 305 South Fearing Blvd., about 4:10 p.m. Wednesday after spending time at the Highland Park pool. They picked up a sack of eight dogs and were headed back to the pool, 1800 South Ave., to enjoy the franks and wait for their ride home when a group of about 15 people got a whiff of their fare, police said.

At Fearing and South Detroit Avenue, two youths punched Mr. Martin in the face, knocking him to the ground. They went through his pockets looking for cash. Finding none, they grabbed the bag of chili dogs and fled, police said.

Two of Mr. Martin’s friends, a 12-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl, also were hurt in the food fight. All three were treated at Toledo Hospital.

Imagine what would've happened had they been carrying a bag of Cinnabons©...
