On July 17th at 3:00 P.M. commotion arose at Paco’s Tacos in National City after a woman was accused of stealing numerous Sweet’N Low packets.
Lorita Lynn, 36, was accused of stealing 8 Sweet’N low packets, a total net worth of $200, by Paco del Toro, owner of Paco’s Tacos. Angered by the accusation, Lynn charged at del Toro with a beer bottle. Del Toro placed her in a headlock before anyone was hurt.
“I went 30 seconds without air,” said Lynn. “And he hurt my neck.”
Lynn was a regular costumer at Paco’s Tacos. Allegedly Lynn took 8 to 9 Sweet n’ Low packets three times a day, everyday for three months. Del Toro started noticing himself putting in more money for Sweet’N Low packets than he usually does. “I told her to take as much as she’d like, but I was only being polite,” said del Toro.
While on his daily rounds, Officer Loyd Swiftpack rushed to Paco’s Tacos after he heard screams. Swiftpack says he saw Lynn on the floor kicking her legs as del Toro placed her in a headlock. He reports that there was no bottle in Lynn’s hand but there were lots of broken chairs and tables.
Lynn claims the alleged weapon was a bottle of nail polish.
Since Lynn supposedly suffered bruises she is charging del Toro with assault and $8,000 of physical damage.
Del Toro says he isn’t worried about the charges Lynn has made against him. He believes that the other customers and his cooks will provide factual evidence along with the restaurants cameras.
Both individuals are scheduled to appear in court next Wednesday at the Chula Vista Courthouse.
