Luke Gatti reportedly expelled from UConn for mac and cheese tantrum
By now everyone has seen the nine minutes of YouTube footage depicting an intoxicated 19-year-old Luke Gatti, as he assaults and belittles the manager of University of Connecticut’s Union Street Market cafeteria while begging for an order of jalapeno bacon mac and cheese. The video ends as a police officer puts the kid in handcuffs and escorts him off campus. (See mugshot.)
Gatti was charged that Sunday evening with a breach of peace in the second degree and criminal trespassing. And, as a result of the minor’s intoxication and misconduct, Gatti was reportedly expelled from the University of Connecticut.
We reached out to the university to confirm Gatti’s expulsion, but, judging by tweets from the student body on Wednesday morning, it sounds as if he won’t get to have a bite of Union Street’s jalapeno bacon mac and cheese ever again.
Shouts to Mac and cheese kid for getting expelled today lol

The diligent staff at Barstool Sports snagged the below Snapchat photos from an unidentified account of Gatti, allegedly packing and leaving UConn campus.
In 2014, when Gatti was attending the University of Massachusetts Amherst, he was arrested for disorderly conduct. During the arrest, he called the detective the N-word.
UPDATE 1:18 p.m.: Sunday’s police report does not reflect that Gatti said “Fuck you, nigger!” to the arresting officer. Gatti used the phrase during his November 2014 arrest, not his 2015 arrest. Language in the post has been updated to correct the error.
