Crime Taco toss puts Fairbanks man in jail

[The Helper]

FAIRBANKS — Three tacos cost a Fairbanks man $100 in fines, one day in jail and one year probation.

Warren E. Strickland, 31, of Fairbanks, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct Tuesday for throwing a double-decker taco at a manager of the Taco Bell restaurant on University Avenue.

Strickland said he was upset during the Jan. 14 incident because a taco contained spit after he had been through the drive-thru twice to correct his order.

According to a criminal complaint filed in court, he went into the restaurant and threw the taco at manager Carol Dzimtrowicz, who said it hit her in the face and that she was scared of Strickland. Another employee reported that Strickland threatened to knock him out.

Point being?

Driving.

Liar. Alaska has no roads, everyone knows that.

So this is only disorderly conduct and not assault with malicious intent?

How can it be a malicious intent, with a double decker taco?

Im from alaska, i can assure you... most of alaska has roads.

Because he had malicious intent. I guess it would actually be aggravated assault.

Haha, a lot of Alaska has roads, but they're pretty dangerous in wintertime depending how far you go out. Roads can go on for hours with no stops. But Fairbanks, DEFINITELY has a road going to it. There's roads to parts of Alaska you wouldn't even think there are to.
