Florida stays undefeated in the unexpected headlines department. According to a Naples Police Department report, a night out at an Olive Garden ended in an arrest after a man was seen eating pasta with his bare hands outside the restaurant.
The report says officers were dispatched to the restaurant last Sunday around 3:30 p.m. Diners reportedly walked outside and saw a shirtless man eating spaghetti by hand while shouting at people passing by and asking for money.
Police identified the man as Ben, 32. Officers wrote that he appeared intoxicated and smelled of alcohol when they arrived.
Per the report, an Olive Garden employee named Ronald called police after the man caused a disturbance inside and was asked to leave. Ronald told officers the man yelled at him and made threats.
Police said Ben kept shouting at officers, and he was arrested on a charge of disorderly intoxication. Officers reportedly gave him napkins to wipe the pasta off his face and hands before he was handcuffed.
The report also says that while handcuffed in the back of the patrol car, Ben thrashed around and hit his head on the metal partition, causing a cut. He was taken to a hospital, treated, and then booked into jail. He was additionally charged with resisting an officer without violence and was released on a $2,000 bond.
The report did not include a statement from Ben. Charges are allegations, and the case had not been resolved at the time of this report.
