The two men were working at the restaurant, 11755 Pines Blvd., when Sgt. Jennifer Martin said she was told by Mirabal that Davenport refused to ring up her order after accepting her credit card.
The Pembroke Pines police chief demanded and quickly received an apology Wednesday from the Arby's restaurant chain after one of the city's uniformed officers reported being denied service "due to being a police officer."
