Man Allegedly Throws ‘Large Pickle’ Out Window in Vermont, Hurting Worker
NECN | June 2, 2020
A Massachusetts man is likely feeling more sour than sweet after being charged with assault for throwing a pickle out of his car window, hitting a state employee who was working on the road.
Vermont State police said Christoph Herrmannsdoerfer of Williamstown, Massachusetts was driving on Route 7 in Pownal on Monday when he threw a large pickle out of his window.
That pickle happened to hit an Agency of Transportation employee, Carl Hoffman, who was working a detail near the border with Massachusetts, “causing him pain,” according to authorities.
Troopers were given a description of the vehicle and the suspect by the Agency of Transportation supervisor on the scene at the time of the incident.
Authorities eventually located Herrmannsdoerfer, who was issued a citation to appear before the Bennington County Superior Court on July 20 to answer to the charges of simple assault.
George Floyd wanted that pickle thrown!
No Dill, No Peace!
Prolly should’ve taken it out of the jar first.
Confucius say: He who throw pickle end up in one.
I really relish stories like this.
Quite the pickle that pickle landed him in.
Mr. Herrmannsdoerfer’s lawyer blamed the assault on his passenger, a Mr. Arlo Guthrie.
