Coney Island hot dog stand closes its doors - The Flume

The Coney Island hot dog stand, a landmark restaurant west of downtown Bailey, was closed indefinitely by owner Ron Aigner in mid-January in light of back problems he suffered after an arrest in January 2010. Details in this week's Flume.

from the story linked above

"My back is killing me. I can't be the loose person I was before. I can't pick up a piece of paper. Or dance," he said. "My back is broken."

I would assume Park County will be seeing a PI lawsuit.

just weird

oh I am so sorry to hear this. Jezz they usually have lines waiting to get a hot dog.

The owner sounds like a real winner. He threatens CDOT workers and deputies with a chain saw, resist arrest and then blames the deputies for his sore back. :Loco:

:can't hear :faint:

Poor guy has a " broken back" and can't pick up a piece a paper.

sounds like a self control issue.

Maybe he closed becuase no one will buy food from a nut case.

The Flume has always twisted stories the way they want it to read. According to Ron, the chainsaw wasn't running, the deputy panicked and called for assistance and 8 deputies assaulted him. As a local business owner that brought tax revenues into the county, I personally think he could have been handled a whole lot differently.

Park County isn't exactly business friendly.

Yeah, they should of looked up his tax records before they arrested him. Maybe if you own a business in Park County you get free "justifiable homicide" pass. Only once of course we need to be fair.
