Minnesota Man Jailed Following Skittles Assault
JUNE 27--A Minnesota man is behind bars fol- lowing an unpro- voked Skittles attack on restau- rant patrons and employees, police report. Investigators say that Tristan Stetina, 19, walked into a Mankato eatery Friday afternoon and “began throw- ing Skittles at employees and customers.”
A woman identi- fied as “Victim 1” in a court filing told police that she was “hit in the back with a Skittle which caused a stinging pain.” Upon arriving at the restaurant, a
cop “noticed Skittles all over the ground and a bag of Skittles near the garbage.” The suspect, “Victim 1” told police, had a “heart shaped tattoo under his eye and another tattoo on the side of his face.” Based on the description provid- ed by the woman, police “knew the male to be Tristan Stetina.” Seen above, Stetina has twice been arrested by Mankato police in recent months. After locating Stetina at a near- by business, the teen allegedly “pulled away and
attempted to break free from officers” as they were trying to place him in handcuffs. Stetina, who tried to trip one cop, was eventually subdued by three officers, according to a probable cause statement. Stetina
was charged
with misdemeanor assault for the alleged Skittles fusillade. He is also facing misde- meanor disorderly conduct and resisting police counts. Stetina was arrested in May for posses- sion of LSD and 27.92 grams of marijuana wax.
