“Stealing $15 of Del Taco food for you and your buddies can land you a maximum of seven years in prison. That’s what two accomplices are up against in a case where three men filmed themselves tricking Del Taco employees over the phone to give them a free meal and then posting it on YouTube. The video’s “star,” Robert Echeverria, who Rialto police said is a known gang member and was “crying like a baby” at the station before making a plea bargain to serve 30 days in jail with three years of probation.
“How To Scam Del Taco” was posted on YouTube on February 22nd and after a tip to police, the three were soon in custody. The two boys posted bail, but Echeverria remained as he could not produce enough money to follow suit”…. Via <LAIST>
