Man arrested after attacking father over daughter cutting in buffet line

BOCA RATON, Fla. (WKRC) - A man was arrested after he allegedly attacked a father whose daughter cut him in line for a buffet, causing a large fight.

52-year-old Mark Roher was standing in line for the prime rib carving station at a wedding buffet in the Boca Lago Country Club on Jan. 18 when two young girls cut in front of him, according to a police report obtained by local outlet The Miami New Times.

Roher was upset about the cutting and confronted one of the girls' father about the incident, the outlets reported.

"The slimmer man ignored the man yelling at him and did not respond," a deputy wrote in the police report, per the outlet. "Without provocation, the large, bald man struck the slimmer man on the head with a dinner plate. From thereon, a melee began between a large number of the wedding guests."

The father reportedly told police "he was attempting to remove himself from the situation" when Roher first confronted him, and turned away from the man as he continued to yell at him, provoking the attack with the plate.

An employee allegedly said the plate shattered on impact, but that more plates began shattering as other wedding guests attempted to pull the pair apart.

When questioned by police, Roher allegedly admitted to pushing the father but said he did not hit him with a plate, and said that he suffered multiple injuries from the people who pulled him away from the victim.

Roher was arrested and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

Moral of the story: Don’t get between a fat man and the prime rib.

“…when two young girls cut in front of him, …”

If they looked good and as an extra added bonus smelled nice, I’d chill. Frankly when it comes to weddings and funerals anyone who raises a ruckus for any reason is a major ass.

“aggravated battery with a deadly weapon”

Dinner plates are now considered a deadly weapon? Those Boca cops don’t mess around.

They were probably afraid there’d be nothing left after he went through....

I renew my call for common-sense dinner plate control.

What makes this story even more hilarious is Mark Roher is also an attorney. 😂
