It's Come to This

Two Louisville, Kentucky, roommates got into a heated dispute at their home, The Charlotte Observer reported, over an unlikely subject: Hot Pockets.

Clifton Williams, 64, was charged with second-degree assault after he allegedly shot the victim.

Williams "got mad he ate the last Hot Pocket and began throwing tiles at him," police said.

When the victim moved to leave the home, Williams retrieved a firearm and shot the man in the posterior. He remains in the custody of Louisville Metro Corrections. [Charlotte Observer, 5/23/2023]
