A 20-year-old man who broke into a northwest suburban fast food restaurant early Saturday and prepared himself something to eat told police he was hungry.
Police got a call at 3:32 a.m. Saturday, activated by the alarm system of a restaurant at 1796 S. Elmhurst Rd., according to Mount Prospect Police Operations Cmdr. John Wagner.
The South Elmhurst Road restaurant is the home of Mr. Beef & Pizza, “known for our famous Cheesy Beef,” according to the restaurant’s website.
Officers saw damage to the drive-through window and saw a man inside, Wagner said. Hachem Gomez, 20, then went to the front entrance of the restaurant, unlocked the doors for the officers. When the officers asked him if he worked there, “he says, ‘No, I was hungry,’ ” Wagner said.
Officers checked the building and found food in the microwave and a cold drink on the counter, Wagner said. Gomez told them he woke up hungry about 3 a.m., went to the Mr. Beef & Pizza, knocked on the door but no one answered, so he broke in and made himself something to eat.
The restaurant’s security video showed Gomez breaking into the drive-thru window, Wagner said.
The 5-foot-7, 200-pound Gomez apparently broke a metal grate protecting the window with his body weight, then crawled in through the broken window, police said.
Gomez, of the 300 block of Hawthorne Circle in Mount Prospect, was charged with burglary. “He did say he was sorry,” Wagner said.
Bail was set at $5,000 for Gomez, whose next scheduled court date is Sept. 21 in Rolling Meadows, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s office.

Hey, he said he was sorry, and apparently all he wanted was a sammich and a drink.

Do you think it is OK if he left money on the counter?

I was waiting for "officers responding to the break-in reported that the suspect appeared to be under the influence of marijuana."
