HILLSDALE – A 22-year-old Jonesville man is behind bars after “going into a rage” and causing severe damage to the Hillsdale Taco Bell.

Dakota James Joblinski was arrested Christmas Eve on allegations of being disorderly and malicious destruction of property more than $1,000, a five-year felony crime.

Hillsdale County Prosecuting Attorney Neal Brady said Monday that he was attempting to piece together exactly what happened that led up to Joblinski throwing a chair through a window and causing significant damage to the inside of the restaurant.

“He just lost it,” Brady said.

Brady said a preliminary investigation found Joblinski — a manager at the restaurant — was at an employee party off-site and was told to go back to work to close the restaurant and clean up.

The police were called when Joblinski started destroying property and Brady said they initially believed Joblinski was trying to break into the restaurant.

Joblinski is being held on a $5,000 bond and is scheduled for a probable cause conference at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 8.
