Baby-faced teen with heart-shaped tattoo pelted Skittle sweets at diners
A baby-faced teenager with a heart-shaped tattoo has been charged after he allegedly pelted Skittle sweets at diners as they tucked into their food.
Tristan Stetina, 19, from Minnesota, is accused of walking into a Mankato restaurant, US, last Friday afternoon and "throwing Skittles at employees and customers," according to police.
One woman, who is identified as "Victim 1", told cops she was "hit in the back with a Skittle which caused a stinging pain" after the unprovoked attack.
When officers arrived at the scene, an officer "noticed Skittles all over the ground a bag of Skittles near the garbage."
According to the victim, the woman told cops the suspect had a heart shaped tattoo under his eye and another tattoo on the side of his face.”

When officers located the suspect at a nearby shop, the teen allegedly “pulled away and attempted to break free from officers” as they were trying to place him in handcuffs.
Tristian, who is said to have tried to trip an officer up, was eventually thrown to the ground by three cops, according to a probable cause statement.
“As officers were placing handcuffs on Stetina, he pulled away and attempted to break free from the officers’ control,” authorities alleged.
“Stetina then wrapped his leg around Officer Gilbertson in an attempt to trip him.”

Tristian was arrested in May for possession of LSD and 27.92 grams of marijuana wax.
He could face more than a year in jail if convicted of the alleged crimes.
The bizarre attack comes just weeks after a man in DC was banned from smoking medicinal marijuana in his home after a neighbour sued him being a nuisance' and 'disrupting her health,' - despite being legalised in the city.
The court ruled in favour of Josefa Ippolito-Shepherd, 75, against her neighbour, Thomas Cackett, 73, after Ippolito-Shepherd raised a lawsuit claiming that the smell of smoke coming from the neighbour's apartment prevented her from sleeping, which negatively affected her health.

Despite Thomas having a full prescription and resides in a city where both medicinal marijuana and recreational dispensaries are legal, the judge, Ebony Scott, decided that he “does not possess a license to disrupt the full use and enjoyment of one’s land.”
The judge wrote in her decision: "Indeed, the public interest is best served by eliminating the smoking nuisance and the toxins that it deposits into the air, toxins that involuntary smokers have no choice but to inhale."
