UConn Student Causes Scene Over Mac 'n' Cheese: WATCH

By BARBARA HEINS (Patch Staff)

A University of Connecticut student was taken into police custody after a profanity laced tirade and shoving match with a dining hall manager who refused to serve the apparently drunk student who demanded he be served bacon-jalapeno mac ‘n’ cheese.

In a You Tube video (Warning: extreme profane language) that was posted on the social media website on Monday, Oct. 5, the student dressed in sweats and white socks and black sandals, can be seen berating the unidentified food service manager in an F-word laden tirade. The nine-minute video, which has had more than 51,000 views as of Tuesday morning, shows at least three of the manager’s co-workers coming to his aid.

The manager can be heard telling the student, identified in reports as Luke Gatti, 19, of Bayville on Long Island, NY, that he wouldn’t be served because he was drunk. “You can’t come in here with an open bottle of booze. Think about it,” the manager said. It is unclear exactly when the incident occurred. The manager accused the student of being under the influence and of underage drinking.

The student dared the manager to call police … who are seen arriving about eight minutes into the video. It was unclear whether Gatti, who was handcuffed and hauled out of the dining hall, is facing any charges.

As the officer handcuffed him, Gatti can be heard proclaiming, “I am absolutely F---ed.”

According to a report by Heavy.com, this wasn’t the first time Gatti has had run-ins on campus. The Heavy.com story can be found here.
