ROCHESTER, N.H. -- A Maine man was charged with assault after allegedly attacking a Rochester store clerk with a hot hamburger.
Police issued an arrest warrant for Tony Carr, 37, of Berwick, Maine, after he allegedly attacked Cumberland Farms clerk Scott Lizenberger Nov. 28 with a steaming hot hamburger fresh out of a microwave.
Police said Carr wanted to pay for a burger while it was cooking in the microwave. But the clerk said he had to have the burger on the counter in order to pay for it.
Carr allegedly became angry and grabbed the burger from the microwave and shoved it -- bun and all -- in the clerk's face.
"We were getting conflicting stories," Sgt. Gary Turgeon said. "There was an independent eyewitness who backed up the clerk's story, so the officer filed a complaint, warrant and affidavit."
The charges Carr faces are misdemeanors and could mean up to one year in county jail. Police said the clerk did not require medical attention.
