The two women allegedly pulled into the Bar & Grill’s dirt parking lot to use the bathroom at the location. However, when they entered the building to use the indoor restrooms, they were stopped and told to use separate restrooms outside of the establishment.
“… A white woman who was eating strangely came up to us and told us to use the outside “bathroom” when there was an empty bathroom inside? My friend followed what she said and that moment I was confused as to why we couldn’t use the inside one,” she continued on Twitter.

She noticed something unsettling about the outdoor restroom when she offered to let her friend use the facilities first, the user wrote, “I noticed there was another door inside the “bathroom” and another door right next to the outside one.”
While the Twitter user was waiting outside for her friend, for a brief moment she reportedly saw a man exiting out of one of these doors. “… A strange dude came out of the next door “bathroom”… He saw me and looked at him and HE WENT RIGHT BACK IN,” she wrote. It was at this moment that the two women realized the situation could be dangerous and left the building immediately.

On July 31, Sgt. Dee Baldwin of the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office revealed that they were in contact with the owners of the restaurant and that they never received any reports from victims, according to KION:
“We don’t know the identity of the person making the allegations, it’s under social media platform where we don’t have their real name so we don’t have the ability to even reach out at this point we’re looking into what happened to determine if there is any substance to it.”
