According to NBC affiliate Gulf Coast News, a man named Anthony Izzo rolled into a Del Taco drive-thru in a Cadillac convertible (he has style!) in Port Charlotte, Florida, just past midnight, ready to feast like a king. Unfortunately, his timing was less than ideal. After attempting to order four tacos, the employees informed him that the restaurant was closed, the kitchen had been shut down, and, most tragically, the meat had been put away. Allegedly, it was not just any meat; it was taco meat. (The sacred, seasoned substance of late-night dreams.)
Instead of gracefully accepting defeat and maybe hitting up a nearby Waffle House like any reasonable Floridian, Izzo allegedly chose violence. According to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, after being denied his midnight munchies, he reportedly retrieved a pipe wrench or some other heavy object from his vehicle and delivered four blows to the window in protest, cracking the glass and shocking employees.
The Florida man smashed the window when he couldn't get his tacos and fled the scene in his convertible.

Izzo then fled the scene in his convertible like a bandit, but the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office tracked him down at his home on Birchcrest Road. He was then arrested for criminal mischief...all because he was "hangry." Damage to the window is estimated to cost $2,000.
In the meantime, let this be a lesson to us all: When the tacos are gone, put down the pipe — and maybe order food on UberEats or GoPuff. You're welcome.
