GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A Taco Bell customer is facing felony charges after police say he threw his soda on a cash register after becoming upset that his order wasn't prepared correctly.
    
Thirty-year-old Suresh Chapman was being held Tuesday at the Alachua County jail.
    
The Gainesville Sun reported (http://bit.ly/IRNDgc ) that Chapman visited the restaurant Sunday and became angry after his order wasn't correct. He allegedly threw his soda on the register and credit card machine, causing $2,500 damage and shutting down the restaurant's computer system. Police said the restaurant lost $3,000 in business before the system was repaired.
    
He was charged with damaging a computer system with a loss greater than $5,000, a second-degree felony. He was also accused of violating his probation on a previous child abuse case and was held without bond.
