A dispute over who was next in the deli line at a Buffalo Grove Jewel-Osco has resulted in disorderly conduct charges against a Lincolnshire man.
Police say John F. Billis, 61, of the 20000 Block of North Horatio Boulevard, was arrested at 4:20 p.m. Tuesday in the grocery store parking lot at 79 North McHenry Road.
Witnesses told police he shoved a 65-year-old Buffalo Grove man, causing him to stumble backwards, authorities said.
“The clerk asked for the next customer to order, and Billis identified himself as the next in line,” Cmdr. Steve Husak said.
“The victim said that someone else was next in line.”
