UConn student who drunkenly demanded bacon jalapeno mac and cheese before assaulting cafe manager is arrested AGAIN for 'hitting a female cop while escaping rehab'
A former student who went on a drunken tirade about jalapeno bacon macaroni and cheese has been arrested for allegedly hitting a female police officer while trying to escape rehab.
Luke Gatti, 20, was caught on camera demanding mac and cheese in a University of Connecticut cafeteria before assaulting its manager, who had refused to serve him because he was intoxicated.
Gatti was ordered to undergo rehab after the bizarre drunken rant last October, but it does not appear to be going well.
He fled the Wellness Resource Center in Boca Raton, Florida, barefoot on May 27, just hours after arriving from a detox center in Fort Lauderdale, the New York Daily News reported.
Gatti was furious after doctors refused to give him pain relief to help with his withdrawal symptoms, according to a police report.
He later returned to the clinic, where a police officer was waiting for him.
The former UConn student said he 'did not care if he got hurt or if he hurt himself and wanted to be left alone', the report said.
He tried to flee again, so the cop tried to take him into custody, but he hit her.
Another police officer grabbed Gatti, causing them to fall into a door and knock it off of its hinges.
After being threatened with a Taser, he was eventually persuaded to give himself up and was booked into jail, the police report said.
Gatti later told cops: 'I just want to die.'
He was later released on a $5,000 bond and is due back in court next month.
Gatti was arrested last October after his nine-minute stand-off with the cafeteria's manager over bacon jalapeno mac and cheese ended in a scuffle.
He is no longer enrolled at UConn. School officials won't say if he left on his own or was expelled, but he was banned from all school property.
He was previously a student at the University of Massachusetts and was arrested twice last year on disorderly conduct charges.
During one of those arrests, Gatti was accused of using a racial slur against a police officer, according to court filings.
In December last year, Gatti was sentenced to a year of probation, a course of substance abuse treatment and community service.
A judge spared him jail time because of the 'excruciating and humiliating publicity' the case attracted, the Hartford Courant reported.
It is not known whether the latest charges will affect Gatti's probation.
