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 restaurant’s managing partner, Steven Piano.
“I’m guessing at least 50 bottles of wine were destroyed,” said Piano. “There was two inches of wine on the wood floor.”
Piano added, “It’s 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.
Exaggerating just a little bit, huh? The insurance company isn't going to buy that.
So? Lock him up.
Hah! I know exactly what you mean..but what’s worrisome is when I hear people say OMG out loud instead of Omigawd.
It’s somehow connected to not learning cursive,don’t you think? Entire parts of the brain are not being used to, LIKE, think ;)

Good one.
Where, I wonder, did this come from? It is so ubiquitous. Several months ago, I was shopping in another state while on vacation. For several minutes I was in the vicinity of a couple who had to be late forties/early fifties. The female’s talk was peppered with “likes”. Based on that and the way she was dressed, if I had not caught a glimpse of her, I would have assumed that she was in college. Left me guessing that she has a daughter of that age and likes to think she is “one of the girls”.
