Police found the man still inside.

Investigators said he initially didn’t give officers his name or date of birth while under arrest.

Police said he eventually revealed his identity and was released on an undertaking, which included not going back to the business or having any contact with the victim.

However, investigators said he went back to the restaurant less than 24 hours later.
