Man urinates inside Qdoba restaurant

A Madison homeless man allegedly urinated in Qdoba restaurant on State Street Monday night after reportedly approaching and touching a customer.  

 

According to a police report, the customer, a 21-year-old UW-Madison student, and his girlfriend had gone to Qdoba for dinner. As the couple were about to sit down, the suspect, Ronald Duell, 52, approached them. The student says Duell was only six inches away from him and was touching him. He then realized Duell was urinating and creating a puddle on the floor of the restaurant.  

 

The manager of the restaurant confronted Duell outside Qdoba on State Street. Madison police arrived around 8:20 p.m. to find the manager and Duell mid-conversation. Police reported Duell smelled of alcohol and was screaming profanities at the officers.  

 

Duell was arrested and tentatively charged with disorderly conduct and a probation hold.
