PALM COAST, Fla. (CBS12) — A Florida man is behind bars after deputies say he was found with his pants down outside a Palm Coast Taco Bell—and with a live fish in his backpack.
Just before 1 a.m. Wednesday, employees at the State Road 100 Taco Bell reported a man behaving suspiciously near a side door of the restaurant.
When deputies with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office arrived, 28-year-old Brandon Irizarry was still outside the business with his pants dropped, or as the authorities said, with his “chimichanga out.” He quickly began covering himself when law enforcement approached.
After his arrest, deputies say they discovered a live beta fish in a plastic container inside his backpack.

The fish, later named “Baja Blast,” was turned over to the Flagler County Humane Society, where staff says it is doing well.
“We have many questions. We do not have answers,” the agency said, noting the fish appears healthy.
Sheriff Rick Staly commented on the case, saying, “In Flagler County, if you can’t keep your business in order, you may find yourself at the Green Roof Inn.”
