Timothy Bell, a 29-year-old man from Arizona, was arrested on felony charges after allegedly threatening a man on the street and stealing “a burrito, of a value less than $1,000.” Bell was eventually taken into custody and booked on one count of felony robbery, according to KHPO. Bell was eventually booked because he “took that person’s property by force” while making “threatening statements.”
When Bell was arrested, authorities knew he was the man responsible because he was in possession of the burrito wrapper.
This isn’t the first time that Bell has been in trouble because of felony charges, with some of his previous charges landing him behind bars for three years.
