Dairy Queen shut down a restaurant in Illinois after police said its owner\u00a0\u201cproudly admitted\u201d to using a racial slur against a customer last week.<\/strong><\/p>\n Deianeira Ford said DQ in Zion, Illinois, mixed up her order at the drive-through window, the Washington Post reported. When owner Jim Crichton wouldn\u2019t fix the order, she asked for a refund. Instead, he hurled racist epithets at her.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt was really just upsetting especially with having my children in the car,\u201d Ford told The Associated Press. \u201cI mean, no one deserves to be treated like that<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n So, she called the police.<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the Washington Post, the officer wrote that \u201cCrichton boastfully told me he would be happy to go to jail over the issue,\u201d and \u201cproudly admitted<\/a>\u201d to using the racist slur. Crichton also told the officer he was \u201cfed up with black people\u201d and continued to freely use the slur in the conversation.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Crichton stated that the accusations towards him are 99% lies, but he did offer an apology.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhat I said was not appropriate and is something I cannot take back. I have no excuse. I can only ask for forgiveness and try to make it up to all involved.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Dairy Queen initially said Crichton would undergo sensitivity training, AP noted. However, amid protests at the restaurant,\u00a0Dairy Queen closed the location and said it would not reopen unless a new owner took control.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Contributing sources | Huffington Post, Foxnews & Washington Post<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\nLike<\/span>\u00a0\u272a<\/span> Share\u00a0<\/span>\u272a\u00a0Be Kind<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n
