An Iowa man has
been arrested for assault with an airborne chalupa, reports the Des Moines Register.
"I've never had
anything quite like that before," police detective Darren Cornwell told the newspaper.
Nancy Harrison was
working the drive-through window at a Des Moines Taco Bell Thursday evening when 24-year-old Christopher Lame
pulled up and ordered food, Harrison told police.
Lame got and paid for his food, but a little while later
walked into the restaurant to complain he hadn't gotten what he'd ordered.
Harrison asked him if he had his
receipt.
"What the ," he replied, according to Harrison. "Do I have to bring my receipt, too?"
She
said Lame went out to his car and came back with his bag of food.
"There's the [bleeping] tacos," he allegedly
said.
Harrison replied that the restaurant was closing, and began to turn away, but not before an airborne
chalupa hit her in the face.
A [b]chalupa is basically a taco wrapped in a crispy deep-fried shell rather
than the traditional baked shell.
Lame ran out of the restaurant, Harrison told police, but she followed him
into the parking lot and wrote down his license plate number.
Lame was tracked down and given a citation for
assault. He is scheduled to be in court June 15.
