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.
Maybe the girls were chubawambo’s and he was afraid they’d get all the meat?
With respect there is nothing worse than a line cutter taking the last piece of fried chicken.
Fat or not fat, I don’t blame him for being upset, and refusing to just go along with the bad manners of the girls.
Then, for the Dad to not even acknowledge what was wrong, kind of lit the fuse to explosive acting out.
Let’s just say, I know a guy, who knows a guy who knows a guy ...

I lived in Boca Raton for a few years decades ago when I worked at a nearby company.. Very upscale, fpolite people. Amaazed that anyone as ugly, uncouth and poorly dressed got invited to anyone’s wedding.
Hope that Boca hasn’t gone to hell in a hand basket. Anyone know?
Someone was hangry!
Free meal, and the guy makes a fuss. Complete idiot.
Yes. Foam rubber is much less dangerous, especially with the safety engaged. Heh.
At a buffet at a wedding reception??? What an idiot!
Right!!!
Correct!!!
More proof of the Wedding/Funeral Crazy Syndrome.
Seriously!
If he wasn’t paying for the wedding buffet, he had no reason to raise a ruckus.
lol!
I read the entire thread before posting. It seems most of the lovely Christians here on FR side with whoever isn’t fat, regardless of the manners of the opponent.
Don’t see many faces with saddlebag cheeks.
That guy isn’t missing any meals.
