LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WTVO) – A man in Kentucky was arrested after allegedly shooting his roommate in the buttocks over a frozen Hot Pocket, according to police.

Clifton Williams, 64, was arrested and charged with second-degree felony assault after police say he and his roommate got into an argument over the frozen food item on Saturday night.

As detailed in a citation from the Louisville Metro Police Department, the victim claimed Williams “got mad that he ate the last Hot Pocket,” at which point Williams began “throwing tiles” at his roommate. The roommate attempted to fight back but ultimately decided to leave “when Mr. Williams went inside the residence and got a gun,” according to the complaint.

The victim told police Williams “shot him in the a–” as he was trying to leave, according to the citation. The roommate was able to run away for help.

Williams was arrested just before 1 a.m. on Sunday morning and booked into jail hours later, according to arrest records. He is next scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on May 30.

Hot Pockets are just not worth THAT.

Well, he probably ate the second to last one too and made no effort to replace the box. Look! There was five of them!

That earns you a shot in the ass.

But anything higher than a .22 or above the waist is excessive use of force.

Hot Pockets are loaded with fat and not a healthy food. Especially not healthy if you eat the last one.

Well, if he didn’t have a hot pocket before, he’s got one now!

Option #1: Live in a large apartment. Take roommates to help you with the rent.
Option #2: Live in a small studio apartment. No roommates are necessary.

Always go with Option #2, unless you enjoy being annoyed (and occasionally being shot at).

As a side note, I stupidly went with Option #1 as a college freshman. One roommate turned out to be a druggie. The other one cried all the time. I never could figure that guy out.

When the lease expired, I immediately went with Option #2. All’s well that ended well.

Had a roommate freshman year, hated it. Finagled singles from then on. One was downright claustrophobic, but senior year I had a corner room in a former 1900 orphanage with 12 foot ceilings, high windows and a porch. Paradise.

A porch or a balcony is the key. As a college student, I could have lived in a closet if I also had a porch or a balcony. Maybe I should write a college how-to book about this.

You would, of course, get proper credit for your input. But none of the profits. After all, there’s no need to go overboard. 🙂

So now Hot Pockets are as worthy of shootings as Popeye’s chicken sandwiches…
