Erving Walker’s Theft of a $3 Taco Will Cost Him $301 in Fines

All, College Basketball, Courts, Legal, Tacos Jason McIntyre April 19th. 2012, 12:04pm

Erving Walker, the Florida guard who famously tried to steal a $3 taco last month and was arrested, pleaded no contest to the charges and was fined $301.

The State Attorney’s Office agreed to drop the misdemeanor charge that Walker eluded police and decided to withhold adjudication on the petit theft charge, meaning Walker will only have to pay his court fees — $301 — by Sept. 27. He will not have a criminal conviction on his record.

Walker called it a silly mistake. [Gainesville Sun via Wolken]

A $3 taco? I’ll continue to eat my $1.25 tacos from the local taqueria instead.

It was from a street vendor. $3 from a street vendor could get you a wide variety of things, from a sub-Del Taco POS to a 3-lb monster supreme taco.
