ST. LOUIS – A popular St. Louis restaurant is picking up the pieces after one of its front windows was shattered overnight.

Crown Candy Kitchen business owner Andy Karandzieff woke up to disturbing news Saturday morning. A message from his general manager, who lives nearby, informed him of a damaged window.

Karandzieff reviewed surveillance video of the incident Saturday, and learned his window was shattered around 1 a.m. Saturday. Based on the surveillance footage, he believes two people were involved in some sort of domestic dispute when one of them got upset and punched the glass. Both left the scene shortly afterwards.

Karandzieff tells FOX 2 it will cost him about $2,000 to replace the damaged window. He says there is only one original window left that has not yet been broken. The restaurant also suffered significant damage during a break-in last winter.

“It’s kind of what happens in the city sometimes,” said Karandzeiff. “You just got to carry on, keep on doing on what you got to do. And the support of my neighborhood and the community will get us through this.”

Frustrated over the recent incidents, Karandzieff says he doesn’t have plans to move.

“Let me add we are not going anywhere,” said Karandzieff via Twitter on Saturday. “Although people see this terrible stuff that happens to businesses and individuals in the city, CCK is part of this community, and we belong here for all the good people down here. They support us and we love them right back.”

Crown Candy Kitchen is located in the 1400 block of St. Louis Avenue in the Old North St. Louis neighborhood. Check back for more updates to this story later Saturday evening.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. – Two people are behind bars after a man reportedly attacked a Jefferson County deputy with a screwdriver during an attempted arrest over the weekend.

Prosecutors have charged Nicholas Davis, 47, and Amanda Davis, 45, of Dittmer, Missouri, with felonies in the investigation.

The alleged attack followed a traffic stop of a driver in the 9500 block of Jones Creek Road on July 7, though the driver was not Nicholas or Amanda.

According to court documents obtained by FOX 2, Nicholas reportedly came out of his nearby home, yelled at a deputy and started approaching him while holding a screwdriver. The deputy initially ordered Nicholas to back away, then used pepper spray.

Per court documents, the deputy attempted to arrest Nicholas, who then struck him in the chest with the screwdriver. Amanda reportedly approached the deputy and pulled him away from Nicholas before both ran inside their home.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says the situation prompted an hours-long standoff involving negotiators, a SWAT team and a K-9 deputy. The situation led to Nicholas refusing warnings and being bitten by a K-9.

Nicholas and Amanda are both jailed in the Jefferson County Jail without bond. Nicholas is charged with first-degree assault on a special victim and armed criminal action. Amanda is charged with resisting/interfering with arrest.

ST. LOUIS — A gasoline tanker truck crashed into a Metro transit center near Riverview and Hall Streets early Tuesday morning and knocked over a power pole. The pole is leaning on other power lines. Police have the area blocked off here because there is a downed power line. Ameren and Metro crews are also on the scene.

The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. It’s still unclear exactly what caused the crash, but we do that there was a second vehicle somehow involved. The airbags on that second vehicle did deploy.

Accused killer’s case thrown out over one question at trial

Police at the scene have not been able to give us a lot of details. Metro officials tell FOX 2 that the transit center here is operating this morning for passengers and buses. Access to certain areas will be limited here as clean up unfolds.

A Metro spokesperson says half of the station isn’t being used right now because of safety issues. It isn’t impacting overall bus operations, everything is just happening on the other side of transit center.

The extent of the damage to the actual transit center is still unclear, but I’m told it does not appear to be extreme. A Metro spokesperson tells me there were no injuries to any metro workers or passengers. The tanker driver also was not injured.
