A Madison Heights man ended up in urgent care after he nearly swallowed a mouthful of minestrone soup that contained the claws of a severed rat’s foot at an Olive Garden restaurant in Warren, according to a recently filed lawsuit. Thomas Howie was having dinner with two of his friends at his favorite restaurant on March 11 and said he didn’t notice the fur-covered foot on his spoon until he felt something sharp cut the inside of his mouth.
