Boca Raton, FL – 911 received a call Tuesday that a man needed medical assistance at Dupont Apartments. When paramedics arrived on the scene, they found resident Terry Burke with his leg caught in a soda machine in the building lobby. Residents reported they witnessed Terry put three dollar bills in the soda machine. When the machine spit back one bill and ate the other two, he shook it, kicked it, pushed it, punched it, and collapsed into a cursing frenzy. “He just lost it,” a frightened neighbor said. "He kept screaming for a Diet Coke.” Burke suffered minor abrasions on his leg and knuckles. The soda machine was taken to the nearest repair shop where it underwent surgery for a new front window and dollar processor. Neither contender would say if there would be a rematch. Police records indicate this is the second time Burke has had an altercation with a drink dispenser. In July, he was charged with aggravated assault for putting his fist through the coffee machine on the sixth floor of Jackson Memorial Hospital.
