Belleville's police chief has banned his on-duty officers from Denny's after several detectives were told they couldn't have their guns inside - a dustup the restaurant calls a misunderstanding.

A Denny's general manager who saw the officers get up and refuse to pay for their meal told them the manager was mistaken, but the detectives left anyway.
