Chester County judge rules pizza slice qualifies as a weapon
Previously only seen on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, pizza officially qualifies as a weapon. A Chester County judge made the ruling earlier this month.
At hand was a dispute over vague language in the law, which made it unclear if a slice of pizza tossed at a car could qualify as a weapon. It can, in fact, as the Pottstown Mercury reports.
The arrest of West Chester’s William James Fennie III proved warranted when Judge James P. MacElree declared the slice a solid. Under the law, the slice Fennie chucked at a car last October counts as a weapon.
Now that it’s decided the arrest was legit, Fennie faces misdemeanor charges. Does this mean throwing yogurt is OK?
