In the early morning hours of April 19, 2014, Steve Long, 47, was attacked by three assailants after leaving a Waffle House off Highway 75 between Miami and Naples. He claimed facial fractures and traumatic brain injury. Long alleged the restaurant lacked security in an area known for rampant crime.
