This Really Happened

This crazy story comes from my neck of the woods, Wenatchee, where two brothers assaulted a Taco Bell employee. According to the Wenatchee World:

"Wenatchee police suspect Guzman and his 21-year-old brother went around the front counter at Taco Bell on North Wenatchee Avenue at 9:30 p.m. Monday and assaulted a 21-year-old male employee in the kitchen area. Witnesses told police that two suspects punched, elbowed and kicked the victim all over his body. The victim told police he knew his assailants."

By time the police arrive the suspects had fled. The victim gave authorities the names, address and vehicle description of the perps. Now this is where it gets good.

"Two hours later, Wenatchee police arrived at an East Wenatchee residence in the 400 block of South Kentucky Avenue, a home belonging to the suspects' parents. The vehicle described by the victim was at the residence. When questioned, the parents told police the car had been at the house all evening, but in the vehicle police found four cheesy double-beef burritos in a Taco Bell bag."

No surprise, one of the suspects was out of jail on work release and, of course, he failed to return to jail by 2:30am as scheduled. Not very savvy criminals in Wenatchee. I think as a sentence they should make them eat four of the cheesy double-beef burritos each. That should be punishment enough. I mean, who hasn't wanted to jump the counter at a fast food restaurant and choke the pimply-faced 18 year old kid screwing up their order? I think about it every day. I'm thinking about it right now. I said no Mayo, damn it!!
