Our “Land of the Free and Home of the Brave” can be awful odd sometimes.
A report out of Iowa from the Associated Press tells the story of a college student who was arrested when he allegedly struck an officer with some M&Ms:
Sean McGuire was arrested early Sunday at a convenience store after Drake University security guards noticed the colored candies falling on the ground around the officer. When the officer turned around, an M&M hit his shoulder, according to a police report.
According to the report, McGuire said he threw the candy at the officer because he was “sticking up for his friend.”
I’d love to know what the judge does with this one. Our courts have become extremely intolerant in recent years.
For now, this kid is out on $1000 bond.
Sweet.
