A drunk Jesus look-alike was arrested after police found him eating spaghetti with his hands.

An employee at an Olive Garden restaurant in Naples, Florida called authorities to report a man, later identified as Ben Padgett, who was sitting outside the restaurant screaming obscenities at patrons on Sunday afternoon.

Officers arrived and found Padgett, 32, sitting shirtless, scooping handfuls of spaghetti into his mouth and reeking like booze.

The Olive Garden employee, named Ronald Worst, told police that Padgett had been loitering outside the restaurant, according to the Miami Herald.


Worst said he invited Padgett inside, but he began yelling ‘I could beat your ass,’ and asking whether he had penis or a vagina.

Officers found Padgett sitting outside the restaurant ‘muttering obscenities’ and arrested him for disorderly conduct.



Before handcuffing the pasta fanatic, cops offered Padgett a paper towel so he could clean the sauce and noodles off his face.

Padgett was taken into a police cruiser, but he began to twist his body, spastically kicking his legs while smashing his head against the metal cage partition, causing his forehead to bleed.

He was taken to a local hospital to be treated for a cut on his head before he was booked at the Naples Jail Center.

Padgett has been charged with resisting an officer and disorderly intoxication. He was released on $2,000 bail.
