A judge banned a 49-year-old pizza prankster from ever getting delivery again after he called and harassed several restaurants.

Randy Riddle, was charged with four counts of harassing phone call, two counts of first-degree petty theft and one count of second-degree petty theft, according to the TC Palm.

Over a period of three weeks, police told the newspaper that Riddle made orders and refused to pay for them.

Riddle also directed delivery people to fake or vacant addresses and told the restaurants their pizza was nasty.

In June, police in Sebastian, Florida, began investigating Riddle's phone calls that he made to TJ's Pizza, Danny's Pizza and other pizza delivery restaurants.

During the calls, Riddle used five different phone numbers and either used a false name or refused to leave his name for many of the orders, according to the Palm.

The restaurants said they lost at least $667 because the food wasn't paid for.

Police told the Palm that Riddle was convicted of making harassing phone calls eight years ago while living in Vero Beach.

Riddle also made harassing calls to the Sebastian Police Department, Sebastian City Hall and the state Department of Health with complaints about the restaurants.

'His purpose is to haggle either over the price of the food or the quality upon delivery,' police told the daily.

Riddle was taken into custody on August 1 and posted $5,500 bail at the Indian River County Jail.

Police said the investigation is ongoing.
