LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- A 270-pound University of Kansas football player
got stuck in the drive-thru window of a Taco Bell when he tried to charge
employees who left the chalupa out of his order, authorities said. 

Dion Rayford, a 6-foot-3 senior defensive end, was suspended for the game
Saturday against Iowa State, the last game of his college career. He was
released on his own recognizance after appearing in court Wednesday on
charges of disorderly conduct, having an open container of alcohol and
misdemeanor damage to property.

An innocent plea was entered for Rayford, who had started all 11 games
this season.

Rayford, 24, allegedly became angry about 2 a.m. Wednesday when he didn't
get the chalupa. He tried to climb through the 14-by-46-inch drive-thru
window, said Lawrence police Sgt. George Wheeler.

The night manager, Tiffany Holly, and three other employees locked
themselves into an office, said restaurant manager Tito Lopez. 

None of the employees was injured. 

"I'm disappointed for the young man, and frustrated as a coach to be put
in the position to suspend someone from the final game of their career,"
said Kansas coach Terry Allen. "But we can't tolerate that type of
behavior in our program."
