Teen Charged With Assaulting Mom With Taco Over XBox

[adrianc1982]

A 19-year-old Deltona man is arrested for assaulting his own mother, with a taco. Dena Moir tells Fox 35 News her son, Zachary Moir, got out of control Wednesday night when she was calling him down for dinner.

When he refused to stop playing his X-box and come down for dinner, Dena Moir says she went upstairs and unplugged the game, that's when she says Zachary pushed her and called her a bad name.

"I've been having trouble with him for awhile won't work, wont' go to school. He's being rude and disrespectful. Pushing things to the limit as far as the violence."

A few minutes later Dena says she was in the kitchen cleaning and cooking tacos for dinner when Zachary showed up. That's when she says he slapped her arm and threw a taco in her face.

"He went ahead and hit me with the taco and I got taco all over my shirt and kitchen. I've threatened to call police before. But anyway this time, I thought he went too far so I called police and he's in jail now."

Dena Moir called cops and said she wants to press charges. Moir says Zachary has tried to call several times, but she's not picking up the phone yet. She says she's going to let him sit in his jail cell in Volusia County for a few days to teach him a lesson.

this reminds me of the same argument me and my wifey usually have, in that you cannot always just stop/pause a game and get up for dinner or to go do something. it really get's to me since she does not understand that concept and if she unplugged a game in progress i would really be pissed off too. although i will not assault her with a taco or anything else for that matter.

Game is not that importand so this guy did go too far and deserves to sit in jail for a while to think ...

so all in all both sides was wrong and right ...

I seriously think this is retarded. I mean, get off that freaking console and do something of your life!

"I've been having trouble with him for awhile won't work, wont' go to school. He's being rude and disrespectful. Pushing things to the limit as far as the violence."

OK there, you really have a troubled kid.. Also, wtf! NOT BEING A FANBOY, why is there always bad stories with X360? Remember this kid who was "addicted" to Halo 3 and killed his dad + mom?

We should start suing MS.
