Taco Terrorist

A 17-year-old on his way to school in Corpus Christi, Texas, stopped at a mobile taco stand for a morning snack. But when the unnamed student realized what time it was, he told the vendor to cancel his order and dashed off toward school to avoid being late. Incensed, the taco trafficker chased after the lad in his truck, allegedly trying to run him over. When he missed, he allegedly jumped out of his truck and punched the teen in the face. The teen ran again, and the jalapeno hawker again got behind the wheel for another run, but ended up crashing into a building. Guillermo Torres Jr., 19, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. (RC/Corpus Christi Caller Times) ...The truck, or his food offerings?
