DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A college student whose friend was being questioned in a hit and run was charged with assaulting an officer with a curious choice of weapons: M&M candies.
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.
McGuire claimed he threw the candy because he was "sticking up for his friend," who apparently was the man suspected in the accident, the report states.
McGuire was released from jail Sunday after posting $1,000 (euro648) bond. A telephone call to his cell phone Monday was not immediately returned.
If it was Peanut M&Ms..then the cop might have been a salted! Wokka Wokka!
