This story is just bizarre, but what do you expect from Indiana?

Barricades blocking off access to the shopping center on North Michigan Street from the Taco Bell parking lot will stay up-at least for now.
On Wednesday, Taco Bell Manager Marsha Humphrey placed the barriers between Taco Bell property and the adjoining property and parked her truck in front of them. Humphrey said, “I have contacted the city numerous times asking for a stop sign.”
There used to be a stop sign at the corner, but reportedly a truck knocked it down several months ago and it was never replaced.

Ya gotta see it to believe it:

In a week where Taco Bell announced massive layoffs in its Irvine corporate headquarters, it's nice to know that our biggest food chain is still inspiring crimes of another sort. From Virginia"

Two men wearing Halloween masks robbed the Taco Bell on Piney Forest Road in Danville on Tuesday.

From Orlando...

Police were investigating a Taco Bell robbery that happened Wednesday night and quickly realized that they were dealing with a crime spree.

From Iowa. Iowa!:

Christopher Gudex was waiting at the Taco Bell drive-through, 1501 E. Euclid, at 2:53 p.m. Thursday. The woman ahead of him was taking too long at the speaker, he told police. He got out and asked her to hurry up, according to a police report. Gaudex, 45, and the woman began exchanging words, and the woman told him she was going to have her father come and beat him up.

And then it got better:

Miner [the woman] picked up her food and circled the Taco Bell while Gaudex was getting his food. Soon after, Anthony Miner, Alisha’s father, showed up, according to police.

Gaudex told police that Anthony punched him, knocking him to the ground, and continued to hit him.

From the indomitable Dave Barry:

...a man armed with a knife held up a Taco Bell and got $2,300. The robber wore a ski mask to disguise his identity. This plan would have worked flawlessly, except that, during the robbery, the robber made one teensy mistake: He pulled one of the Taco Bell workers aside, lifted his mask and said, "It's me, Tim." Yes. It turns out that the robber used to work at this Taco Bell, and he chose that particular moment to say hi to a former co-worker.

From West Virginia:

A late night trip to get some fast food from Taco Bell in the Kanawha City area of Charleston, W.Va., landed a Boone County man behind bars.

State troopers say Jonathan Ball was waiting in the drive-thru lane. When the vehicles ahead of Ball moved up, he sat still.

A trooper went to check on him and said he discovered Ball asleep at the wheel with a strong smell of alcohol coming from the car.
