BEVERLY HILLS (CBSLA.com) Beverly Hills Police said a man clad only in his boxers went on a vandalism rampage Thursday evening inside a fancy restaurant in the 400 block of N. Canon Drive.
Authorities said they received a call at 9:52 p.m. saying the man was destroying property and throwing glasses around the Enoteca Drago restaurant.
Officials arrived on scene about a minute later and got into a foot pursuit with the man.
The suspect reportedly ran south on N. Canon Drive where he ran into traffic. He allegedly slammed into a car and damaged the windshield.
Police said they needed a Taser to bring the man down to handcuff him. At least half a dozen officers had to subdue the man.
The suspect was later identified as 29-year-old Kishane Karim Almendarez of Los Angeles.
Almendarez was arrested for felony vandalism after being taken to a local hospital for treatment of injuries.
Officials told CBS2′s Cristy Fajardo they believed Almendarez was likely under the influence of drugs.
A witness said Almendarez threw glasses at patrons, knocked over wine bottles and shattered a TV screen inside the restaurant. Prior to the rampage inside the restaurant, witnesses said the suspect went up and down the street creating chaos.
No one could make sense of what was going on, said Beth Braun, another witness. He was half undressed, bottoms gone.
Fajardo spoke to the restaurants managing partner, Steven Piano.
Im guessing at least 50 bottles of wine were destroyed, said Piano. There was two inches of wine on the wood floor.
Piano added, Its like he was just quietly, calmly, destroying property.
The suspect is scheduled to appear in LAX Court next month.
Police said no officers or members of the public were hurt during the incident.
Men wearing briefs never do this sort of thing.
50 bottles of wine could not possibly create two inches of wine on the floor. Once again, nobody in the mainstream media appears able to practice good journalism.
Bath salts. At least the cops got to him before he ate somebody.
It's not like he didn't try to find a wine that goes with face...
Some day when I have permission, I'll tell a funny Justin Bieber story...
Or maybe someone is planning on filing one heck of an insurance claim.
Curiously, every drop spilled was from nothing but the most expensive bottles in inventory, too...
Carlos Danger Weiner? Is that you?
Permission granted...
That you Mr Wiener?
Can’t. Have to check with the person who encountered JB in person and get their permission.
In fact I'd bet a weeks pay check on it.
This was progress:
The liberal patrons at those digs prefer to consider poverty as somehow romantic and pure. They like poor people in minorities as a group in the ABSTRACT —they’re quaint, see?
They can AFFORD to pity them and shower their kind with accolades, and vote their way, BUT:
When a half-nude, 400-lb one just smashed your Cabernet and begins swinging his schlong around in your face, well, eh....
DAT KEEPIN’ IT A LITTLE *TOO REAL* NOME SAYIN’...?!
He educated these rich L.A. liberals that day, and however indelicate, the fact remains that this is PROGRESS.
The only question I have with bieber is when does he come out of the closet...
Alright. This is going on my “bucket list!”
I have an alibi.
I don’t think I’d admit to knowing someone who encountered Justin Beiber...unless it was Selena Gomez.
Side note .. Selena just turned 21!
It almost matches her IQ. :-)
Bieber’s is off the chart.. he has ‘pap fever’. Yeah right
