Unhappy cyclist arrested after being rejected at Taco Bell drive-through for not being in a car

A drunken cyclist in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, whose drive-through order at Taco Bell was rejected because he wasn't in a car refused to leave the restaurant then tussled with police.

Gabriel Harris, 33, was charged with resisting an officer with violence in the late-night incident and was out of the Volusia County Branch Jail on $1,000 bail. Taco Bell workers called police at 3:10am on Sunday after Harris and a woman, both intoxicated, would not leave the restaurant.



Police found Harris on a bicycle by the menu speaker. Aron Tobler, the employee, said he refused service to Harris and Sarah Haliburton because “they placed an order on bicycles” in the drive through window. Haliburton was not charged. Police said Harris got to the restaurant after it closed at 3am.

As police were asking Harris to leave, they spotted a red Swiss Army knife on Harris' belt loop and tried to reach for it. Harris grabbed the officer's wrist and Harris was wrestled to the ground and handcuffed. Harris suffered a scraped forehead, police said.
