A large-scale Cheesecake Factory giveaway clogged not only arteries but also the roads surrounding a Virginia restaurant where one person was taken to a hospital and faces a disorderly conduct charge.
Arlington County Police say they received calls Wednesday for traffic disruptions at a Cheesecake Factory in Clarendon.
The restaurant was participating in a national giveaway of 40,000 cheesecake slices in conjunction with a food-delivery service.
Police spokeswoman Ashley Savage says nearby roads were jammed, would-be delivery drivers were double-parked and there were reports of a fistfight.
