NATICK, Mass.—All the customer wanted was coffee. Instead, he needs four new tires.

Police say a worker at a Massachusetts Dunkin' Donuts slashed the tires on a customer's Jeep after the two got into an argument Tuesday.

Police charged 39-year-old Thomas Zazulak with malicious destruction of property and disturbing the peace. He pleaded not guilty Thursday and is free on personal recognizance.

Police say the dispute erupted when the customer -- whose name wasn't released -- started to leave because he was tired of waiting for coffee.

Words were exchanged, then Zazulak allegedly followed him outside, pulled a folding knife and slashed the tires.

Zazulak's lawyer, Joseph Leone, says his client has no history of violence and the truth will come out in the legal process.
