Raleigh, N.C. — A Raleigh man faces charges of careless driving and disorderly conduct for causing a commotion both outside and inside the Mission Valley Cinema on Avent Ferry Road on Nov. 16.

According to witnesses, Derrick Donta Bell, 29, was speeding in the parking lot and hit three parked cars before spinning into a tree. He then ran screaming into the theater. Bell frightened some movie patrons, but he left before police arrived.

Police arrested Bell Monday at a home on Weston Street. He was being held on $1,000 secured bond.

Bell has a long criminal history, including multiple charges of assault, drug sales and possession.

This guy is trouble, clearly. He's going to keep messing around and eventually, commit a horrible crime.

Maybe a bee flew into his shorts. Maybe he ate one of those ultra-hot ghost peppers? ;-)

Lock him up for life before he kills someone. Look at his past record. It's quite lengthy.

I saw 9 people just as disorderly on my 30 minute drive on the beltline yesterday. Miraculously, these 9 people did not do any property damage (that I know of).

The police never arrived.
