UPDATE

Many Post readers have been perplexed by the fact the police were contacted simply because Biggs and the male subject smelled like marijuana.

The Post spoke to the General Manager of the Rodeo Road Taco John’s location, Michael Torres.

According to Torres, it was true that Biggs and her companion smelled strongly of marijuana.

However, Torres said there is more to the story that was not included in a North Platte Police Department news release.

He says Biggs and the male subject had been coming and going from his restaurant throughout the day and hassling the employees and other customers.

“They were tearing up my lobby, and trying to bum food and cigarettes from my employees,” Torres said.

He said the couple was sitting at two tables, and that the area was a disaster, with wrappers and food scattered everywhere.  As the “lobby closer” was attempting to clean and finish his work for the night, Torres said Biggs and the male refused to leave at the request of employees.

Torres said that because he is unable to legally physically remove them from his store, the decision was made to contact police.
