ALLEN COUNTY, Ind. (WOWO) – A man accused of killing a Fort Wayne gas station clerk last Thanksgiving was kicked out of court for the second time this year.

21-year-old Victor Rivera is accused of shooting 25-year-old Jacob Walerko with a shotgun, then stealing a pack of cigarettes, on Thanksgiving night last year.

Last month, Rivera was kicked out of the courtroom after he got into an argument with the judge.

Where he’s headed I don’t think he’ll be spitting too much.

I guess a man’s life is worth a pack a smokes nowadays. Makes me feel totally safe living out in the ol fort. Tip: if you want to smoke crack, just walk around for a little bit. I found a pipe out on the sidewalk and another behind in an alleyway behind my house with the steel wool still in it and everything. FoRt WaYnE iS tHe BeSt¡
