Taco Bell executive charged in attack on Uber driver

A former Taco Bell executive was charged Tuesday in connection with an assault on an Uber driver, who defended himself by dousing the suspect with pepper spray in Costa Mesa, authorities said.

Benjamin Golden, 32, of Newport Beach, faces four counts of assault, battery, battery on a public transit employee with injury and assault on public transportation property, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office. All charges are misdemeanors.

Ah, the well off. Who can blame them for wanting to beat the crap out of the little folk? That’s the way things were in the Good Old Days. At least he’s only facing misdemeanors.
