Roseville Karate Instructor's Taco Bell Takedown, Arrest Raises Eyebrows


ROSEVILLE, CA - Patrons inside a Roseville Taco Bell got much more than they bargained for Thursday night when a karate instructor walked inside and tried to place one of his employees under citizen's arrest.

News10 received an anonymous tip from a viewer that Dave Marinoble, owner of Marinoble's Martial Arts Center, came to the Taco Bell on Foothills Boulevard shortly after 7 p.m. and attacked a 17-year-old boy.

Investigators said the Woodcreek High School student works for Marinoble and Marinoble accused him of stealing money from his business.

"I walked in the front door and I said Riley Lockett, I said you're under arrest for theiving from me, right now, citizen's arrest, right now," Marinoble said.

...

"I did do something really dumb. I went in there and I was stealing money from him because I wasn't making enough money to pay for my speeding tickets," Lockett said.

An off-duty California Highway Patrol officer was inside and called police. After questioning Marinoble, Lockett and witnesses, DeFreece said Marinoble shouldn't have done what he did.

1. That guy is a total idiot.

Trust me, I lived in the Roseville/Sacramento area for a long time.

Total idiot.

2. I'm curious about the people who responded to this at the link you posted.

They found that this was ok. Can you imagine their child being physically attacked by an adult?

4. Oh hell we had people here claiming it was ok to deliberately beat somebody's brains out

as an act of 'self defense' long after the self in question no longer needed any defending.

3. Chuck Norris Syndrome

Too many boots to the head.

5. So assaulting an employee is the proper response in this guy's mind.

What planet do these people come from?
