Logan Badgley was a very hungry young man and for the 22-year-old Tennessee man, only Taco Bell would do.

But there were roadblocks to getting to Burrito Land. Badgley argued bitterly with his mom “because he wanted her debit card so he could go get some Taco Bell” and later, allegedly, beat her with a hockey stick when he had to go hungry.

Cops say Badgley’s frustrated mother told him “there was no money in the account,” but he “took the card anyway and left the residence.”

The temptations of taco would have to wait after Badgley’s card got denied for insufficient funds and was unable to cover the cost of the burrito.

Badgley later told cops he had “consumed a few alcoholic beverages during the night” but “did not want to provide his side of the story.”

Badgley allegedly confronted his mother in the garage, where he “grabbed his hockey stick” and slammed her on the head. The alleged blow from the salsa-savouring slugger knocked mom to the ground; she lost consciousness.

Badgley has been charged with aggravated assault.
