Today's Blotter.
I'm going to blog on dumb crimes across the country as much as I can in a regular piece called "The Blotter."
Today's entry is the case of the bologna beating. From The Associated Press wire:
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A man in Oklahoma City says he was attacked for his bologna and cheese sandwich.
Police say 24-year-old Roger Hamilton told them he was sitting on a bus station bench Wednesday, about to put mayonnaise on his sandwich, when another man began staring at him.
Hamilton told police that the man then punched him in the mouth and grabbed his sandwich and left.
Police say Hamilton has a swollen lip and his face was covered in blood. The police report listed the value of the sandwich at 76 cents.
