Huber Heights police say 23-year-old Michael S. Smith ordered at a drive-up window in the Dayton suburb on Tuesday and later realized he was missing the taco. Officer Brandon Sucher says Smith returned to the restaurant and had angry words with employees before striking the building.

Police tracked the truck's fluid trail to Smith's house a few miles away and arrested him on a vandalism charge.

Sucher says Smith told police he hit the building accidentally after driving off fast and losing control of the truck.

There was no telephone listing for Smith, and he could not immediately be reached for comment.
