Restaurant customer arrested after repeatedly shouting that TV chef owes him millions of dollars
(Miami Beach Police Department)
Joaquin Nuñez, 59, was arrested at a high-end steak restaurant in Miami after repeatedly demanding $6 million from celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.
Nuñez claimed Ramsay owed him the money for allegedly using his face in a Netflix documentary, despite Ramsay having no known connection to the establishment.
Police bodycam footage showed Nuñez shouting for Ramsay during his arrest at Papi Steak, where he was found sitting in a booth before opening hours.
Prior to this incident, Nuñez had frequently visited the restaurant, leaving a note detailing his demands and once padlocking the doors, trapping employees inside.
He has been charged with attempted extortion, trespassing, and other offences, following his resistance to arrest.
