According to an arrest citation, Chen was at a Kroger when he took the unidentified victim "against his will" and walked him to the Double Dragon restaurant. In a surveillance video, Chen is seen grabbing the boyā€™s arm. When witnesses attempted to intervene and separate the boy from Chen, he pulled out a black handgun. Video taken by witnesses shows Chen waving the gun around, pointing it at the crown and then at the boyā€™s head.

"It's really wrong what he did, somebody could have gotten hurt,ā€ Patricia Duncan, who works in the neighborhood, told WHAS11.Officers later determined the handgun was a BB gun,Ā according to the arrest report.During his plea hearing, Chen pleaded not guilty and, through a translator, said a child was throwing a bottle in his restaurant, and he was trying to get him to stop. However, people in the area said Chen has a habit of disrespecting people in the community."He's gotten into other altercations with customers and always points that gun. This is not the first time," Amanda Thompson-McAllister, the manager at Laundry Connection, told WHAS11.And while neighboring businesses say they have seen some kids in the area causing trouble, they donā€™t think Chen handled it the right way."Them throwing rocks down at the store, I heard about that," witness Patricia Duncan told WHAS11. "But itā€™s his reaction thatā€™s the problem.""It should have been handled different by calling the police, not going and grabbing the child, like he did," she added.During an arraignment hearing on June 5, Chenā€™s bond was set at $20,000. The Jefferson District Court judge also ruled that Chen can't have contact with his restaurant.
