Report: Man fire-bombs Taco Bell for too little meat in chalupa

Oct 28, 2011

Police in a southwest Georgia town are looking for the man that allegedly fire-bombed a Taco Bell.

The man, who has not been identified, called the restaurant complaining because his chalupas didn't have enough meat,WALB Channel 10 in Albany reported.

Arson investigators will now look at phone records to determine the identity of the man who called the Taco Bell early Sunday and threatened to "redecorate" and made racial slurs, according to the report. Later Sunday, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at the drive-through window.

The small fire was quickly extinguished and did not cause significant damage, according to media reports.

Police found a melted plastic bottle outside the restaurant and believe it may have contained gasoline, the TV station reported. Surveillance video footage was too dark to offer many clues, investigators said.
