According to police, Innazzo asked for the drink to be made without peanut butter, but never told the shop staff about his son’s allergies. Innazzo, who left before officers arrived and later turned himself in, was arrested and charged with intimidation, trespassing, and breach of the peace based on bigotry or prejudice.
His FINRA records show a criminal charge for Jan. 22 event. According to the online case summary, the next hearing in the case is scheduled for April 8.
Eugene Riccio, a lawyer for Innazo, declined to comment on the new role.
