ROCKVILLE, Conn. (AP) — A former University of Connecticut student who went on an obscenity-laced and drunken tirade about macaroni and cheese last month is facing his first court appearance.
Luke Gatti is scheduled to be arraigned Monday on misdemeanor breach of peace and trespassing charges in Rockville Superior Court.
The 19-year-old former freshman from Bayville, New York, was arrested after his Oct. 4 outburst in the Student Union. He ranted at and shoved a university food service supervisor for refusing to sell him jalapeno-bacon macaroni and cheese.
The incident was caught on a video that has been widely viewed on the Internet.
Gatti later apologized in a video he posted online.
He’s no longer enrolled at UConn. School officials won’t say if he left on his own or was expelled.
