HERNANDO BEACH, FL -- Hernando County Sheriff's deputies have arrested a South Carolina teen on a charge of throwing a deadly missile at a moving vehicle. That missile was a burrito, deputies said.
According to a police report, John Addie was driving his Honda when he noticed someone lean out of an approaching white Dodge and throw something. The next thing Addie knew his front windshield was cracked and he was covered in refried beans.
Addie followed the Dodge and called deputies. Deputy Scott Lamia wrote in his report the victim's "vehicle, which was clean and in excellent condition, had a chip in the windshield where the hard object struck it. I observed the contents of a burrito to be on John’s person and his driver’s seat.
A portion of the burrito was on the window frame, on the exterior of his vehicle. I also observed the remainder of the burrito to be at the base of the driver’s seat. It should be noted that John suffered no injury as a result of being struck by the burrito."
The report goes on to say that the teen suspect confessed, "he admitted that as a prank he did in fact throw a burrito at John’s vehicle and denied throwing any other object at the vehicle. Austin also had no explanation as to why John’s windshield would be damaged."
The 15-year-old was arrested on the felony charge of throwing a deadly missile Saturday afternoon and released to the custody of his father. The Graces were visiting Florida from South Carolina.
