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.
That guy’s neck has its own area code.

RE: Just gonna guess that this wedding had bar service.
But there’s always a back pocket on his 5X dad pants to hold a flask of his Aunt Tillie’s special rheumatism medicine.
Pelosi and Kamala have their initials on theirs.
Accompanied by Fetterman.
The government could pass laws permitting only plastic knives even in steakhouses and only paper plates in case of fighting.

Last piece of chicken....

Another mug shot with the eerie dead eyes like the killer Bryan Kohberger and others. Creepy there are so many around, loose. Including the Dems in DC.
LOL.
I did, literally. Good one.
Perhaps.
Waffle House behavior at the Country Club.
You sir are a genius. You summed up a wordy complex story and distilled it to its essence.
I’m guessing that wasn’t his first buffet.
It was a high capacity plate. Designed to carry more than 10 oz of prime rib.
No one needs a plate like that.
Ain’t civility grand Moe.
It was free food. He was there as a guest, yet acted as if he owned the place.
I'm going to hazard a guess that the dude had been drinking (free) booze, and probably a lot of it, to boot.

My pleasure, but I have to be honest… I made the mistake of getting between a fat man and the prime rib years ago. I’ll never do that again. ;~))
Agreed, and he was of course way in the wrong for his reaction.
But I’d also suggest dad or mom should have watched the girls and kept them from cutting the line.
It is not bad manners for children to join their parent in a buffet line. It’s completely normal.
