JULY 4--A Florida Man is facing a felony battery charge for allegedly striking a cop with a thrown hot dog, according to court records.

Investigators say that Jason Stoll, 47, was selling hot dogs on a downtown St. Petersburg street early Saturday when police gave him “numerous warnings” that he was in violation of a city ordinance.

Stoll, however, “ignored the warnings and continued to sell hot dogs in the roadway after the street closure permit ended,” an officer noted in an arrest affidavit.

“The defendant was asked to put the hot dog down as he continued his attempt to sell it,” reported Officer Anthony Bragano. When directed to drop the hot dog, Stoll reportedly became “extremely upset” and threw the item--which is not a sandwich--at a uniformed patrolman.

The hot dog hit the cop, who was not injured by the airborne bun and beef.

Seen above, Stoll was arrested for battery on a law enforcement officer, a felony. He was also charged with resisting, a misdemeanor, for allegedly struggling with cops as they sought to place him under arrest.

Stoll was released from the county jail Saturday morning after posting $2650 bond. Stoll lives about 40 miles from St. Petersburg in New Port Richey, where he and his wife purchased a $230,000 home earlier this year

This is kind of a bitch move by the cop, I mean a fucking hot dog? Sure, charge him with resisting arrest but if someone threw a wiener at me I'd yell at them then laugh.
 
Woah...


Hot dogs are not sandwiches?

It's the principle of the matter, you don't throw things at uniformed officers.

Sure, in retrospect it was funny, and it'll probably disappear somewhere between the charge and the inevitable plea bargain, but you HAVE to charge him.

Otherwise, since we live in Clown World, you'll create a situation where the "Hit the cops with pies challenge" becomes the next viral TikTok, because "it's just food bro! LULZ!" or slinging something dangerous at one that injures becomes a "ackshually that was a protest" excuse.
 
This is what immediately came to mind when I saw the article title and I'm not sure how to feel about that solely because of how weirdly specific it is.

In Germany there is a group of protestors who call themselves CIRCA ("Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army"). They dress up as clowns and show up at protests where they mock cops.

One of these clowns got fined 750€ for assault because she throw glitter in the air while a cop claimed she throw it right in his face and his eyes got hurt.

That cop should be thankful this dude wasn't wielding a laser-sighted tactical hot dog.

We need common sense wiener legislation NOW!

So they had a perfectly good ordinance violation, Picked up a resisting charge during the arrest for saying "No" to a cop that, But decided chucking a felony at him for tossing a hotdog was the thing to do? Did they take classes on how to look like petty assholes or does it come natural? Probably going to end up a plea to something else, But I'd really like to see a jury throw the whole thing in the garbage. Hotdog guy may be an asshole but that happening to anyone else would've been a shrug of the shoulders and "Well, what can we do?".
 
Between this guy and the professional eater yesterday I'm getting major "duality of man" vibes.
 
Florida man never fails to deliver. :story:
