(CBS) HUBER HEIGHTS, Ohio - A customer angry about not getting a taco he ordered at a drive-thru window at a Taco Bell near Dayton returned to the restaurant and drove his truck into the glass entrance.

Huber Heights police say 23-year-old Michael Smith ordered at a drive-thru window in the Dayton suburb on Tuesday and later realized he was missing the taco. Police say Smith decided to go back to the restaurant where he exchanged un-pleasantries with employees, and then - apparently thinking outside the bun - drove his truck into the building.

Police put on their own thinking caps, tracked the truck's fluid trail to Smith's house a few miles away, and arrested him on a vandalism charge.

Police said Smith told them he hit the building accidentally after driving off fast and losing control of the truck.

No one was injured in the taco tantrum.
