LOUISVILLE, Ky. (TCD) — Police arrested a 64-year-old man for allegedly shooting his roommate because he ate the suspect’s last Hot Pocket.
According to WAVE-TV, on the night of Saturday, May 20, Clifton Williams became upset with his roommate, who remained unnamed, after he learned the roommate consumed Williams’ food. Williams allegedly threw tiles at the roommate, and the roommate attempted to defend himself.
