Arizona man jailed for stealing another man’s burrito

An Arizona man is stuck behind bars on felony robbery charges — for stealing another man’s burrito, according to court documents.

Timothy Bell, 29, allegedly threatened someone in the street in Phoenix and took “a burrito, of a value less than $1,000,” according to the charging documents obtained by KPHO.

Bell, who was listed as homeless, took the burrito “by force” while making “threatening statements,” the Maricopa County documents say.

He was busted red-handed with the “wrapper from burrito he stole” when cops stopped him after his alleged victim followed him, the documents on his Nov. 16 arrest say.

Bell was fingerprinted and booked into Maricopa County jail without bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned next Friday, records show.

Bell’s rap sheet includes two separate state prison terms and convictions for weapons possession, disorderly conduct, trespassing, and narcotics possession, according to The Smoking Gun.

He is currently on probation in connection with a 2015 conviction for misconduct involving weapons, a felony for which he served nearly three years in custody, the website said.
