Food Crimes: Hold the Mayo

According to SF Gate, a 74 year-old woman has been arrested in Boise for pouring mayonnaise in the county library's book drop.

Joy L. Cassidy is "a person of interest in at least 10 other condiment-related crimes."

For the past year, library employees have reported finding books in the drop box covered in corn syrup and ketchup.

"Cassidy was released from jail and faces a misdemeanor charge of malicious injury to property."

Food Crimes: Man Stabbed with Meat Thermometer

While watching a 9pm showing of "Shutter Island" in Lancaster, CA, on Saturday a man asked a woman to turn off her cell phone. According to sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore, and reported by KTLA,

"She and two men with her left the movie theater.

Two men returned a few minutes later and stabbed the victim.

The victim was hospitalized but is expected to survive.

Two other people who attempted to help the victim were also injured in the altercation.

Sheriff's officials describe the suspects as black males.

One man was wearing an orange hat with an orange jacket or jersey.

The other man was dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt."

Beyond the crime of talking on a phone in a movie theater and then retaliating violently against anyone who dared to speak up, no one has yet reported the fashion crime of wearing an orange hat and jersey.

The temperature reading has not been reported.

Food Crimes: McNugget attack

I may be a food purist in many ways, but I make exceptions for the Happy Meal. And I get superpissed when I want a Happy Meal at 4am and they are serving breakfast. But I only drive off in a huff.

In Toledo, Ohio, a woman took it a step too far when denied her McNuggets last Friday. According to Fast Food Critic, "She reached into the drive-thru window and punched one employee in the mouth..."

But McDonalds managers are not pussies. Toledo on the Move reports "After a night manager came to the window, Dushane began swinging her fists at her. The manager attempted to pull Dushane through the window by her hair. After being released, Dushane then punched through the drive-thru's glass window."

She has been ordered to stay away from that McDonalds location. Apparently the other franchises are on their own. There are no reports on whether she was under the influence. Looking at that picture, I blame hormones.
