AUBURN, Maine (AP) — A Maine man is suing a local KFC restaurant alleging permanent damages from a piece of bone he says he found in his chicken pot pie.

Auburn resident Willie Blanchette alleges he badly hurt his teeth when he bit down on a large bone contained in his chicken pot pie ordered from the restaurant chain’s store in Scarborough in 2015.

The Sun-Journal reports that Blanchette is seeking damages plus attorney fees for “great pain and suffering and mental anguish requiring medical treatment.”

Serena Wheeler, a manager at the Scarborough location, said Wednesday she hadn’t learned about the complaint and directed inquiries to corporate headquarters.

A message left for the restaurant’s corporate headquarters was not returned Wednesday.
