STORRS, Conn. (AP) — A University of Connecticut student who wasn’t allowed to buy macaroni and cheese with bacon and jalapeño peppers at a campus food court got into a confrontation with a manager and now faces criminal charges.
An obscenity-laced video shows 19-year-old freshman Luke Gatti arguing with and shoving the manager Sunday.
Gatti was trying to purchase the mac and cheese at the university’s student union in Storrs. Police and the manager said he was refused service because he had an open container of alcohol.
The 9-minute video shows Gatti being tackled by another employee, being arrested by police and spitting at the manager before being led away.
Gatti is from Bayville, N.Y. He’s charged with breach of peace and criminal trespass. He’s slated to appear in court Oct. 13. He didn’t returned a phone call seeking comment.
