FORT WORTH (1080 KRLD) - The Fort Worth Police Department sent a tweet to the verified account for Wendy's restaurants Thursday night to report that employees at a location in the city had refused to take an officer's order.

The Fort Worth police officer says he went into the Wendy's on Interstate-20, near Trail Lake Drive. The man said when he made eye contact with a group employees, they all walked to the back of the kitchen and refused to take his order.
