Mansfield, CT — UConn's "Mac and Cheese Boy" has been arrested again.

Luke Gatti, 20, who gained internet infamy for a drunken tirade over the University of Connecticut's gourmet macaroni and cheese last fall, was charged with resisting arrest and assaulting an officer in Palm Beach, Florida, according to the police department's web site.

The Florida charges carry two separate bonds of $2,500, according to law enforcement records. The case, according to court records, is set for disposition on July 27.

Gatti, of Bayville, New York, across Long Island Sound from Greenwich, was arrested last Oct. 4 for second-degree breach of peace and first-degree criminal trespass, according to a UConn arrest report.

UConn police said an intoxicated Gatti walked into the Student Union at night, looking for the gourmet jalapeno macaroni and cheese, a popular menu item at the food court. Gatti was asked to leave because of his drunkenness and wound up in a verbal and physical confrontation with a manager, police said. Police intervened and arrested him, according to an arrest report.

The tirade and subsequent scuffle was captured on video and went internationally viral on YouTube. He was dubbed "Mac and Cheese Boy" around UConn campus, particularly on the social media platform Yik Yak.

Gatti also apologized in a YouTube video. Gatti received a form of special probation for the UConn case, according to a clerk at Rockville Superior Court.

Gatti was also arrested last September in Amherst, Massachusetts, at an alternation at a party, according to police records.

UConn deputy spokesman Tom Breen said the university had no comment on Gatti's latest brush with the law.
