Last week, Milton's Restaurant made headlines after a video released on social media appeared to show the restaurant's owners involved in a dispute with a man living with disabilities over his service dog. In that four minute video, one man can be heard defending himself as he insists he's “done nothing wrong,” while two other men aggressively attempt to remove him from the restaurant. 

Since that video surfaced, a handful of concerned residents have staged protests outside the restaurant, expressing their outrage over the alleged incident. 

Regional police have since indicated that they're aware of that incident caught on film on Wednesday night, and are currently investigating.
