Indiana prosecutors decline charges in Tim Hortons altercation tied to Anita Grayson’s death

Prosecutors in Fort Wayne, Indiana, announced no charges will be filed over the May Tim Hortons drive-thru altercation that preceded the death of 75-year-old Anita Grayson. They determined Grayson’s escalation — striking a shift manager — was not justified, and the manager’s response was defense of a colleague. The coroner ruled the manner of death undetermined, citing an acute exacerbation of congestive heart failure in the setting of the fight, with no finding of natural, accidental, or homicide.
