MARION COUNTY, Fla. - A Florida woman was arrested after she threw a sausage and Coke can at a gas station cashier during a heated altercation, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
De'Asia Cobb was arrested and charged with battery and disorderly conduct after the incident that unfolded last Wednesday at the Kwik King gas station at 3511 NE 36th Ave. in Ocala, according to an arrest affidavit.
The cashier told deputies that the incident started when Cobb confronted her, saying she could have handled her two transactions at once, the arrest affidavit said. The two reportedly shouted racial slurs at one another, causing the verbal altercation to turn physical.
That's when Cobb allegedly grabbed a sausage from the hot tray and its tongs and hurled them both at the cashier. The sausage hit the cashier in the right wrist and the tongs in the right leg. Cobb then left the store.
The cashier grabbed the sausage off the floor, went outside and threw it at Cobb's car, the affidavit said. Cobb retaliated by throwing the Coke can she just purchased and the same sausage at the cashier who was standing toward the end of the counter. The soda can hit the counter and the cashier was able to get out of the way to avoid being hit by it, the affidavit said.
The store owner who witnessed the entire incident said Cobb needed to leave. Cobb, however, said she wasn't trespassed from the store so she refused to leave, deputies said. She loitered and taunted the store employees for 8 minutes, the affidavit said.
Cobb was arrested and transported to the Marion County Jail on $1,500 bond. She has since been released.
First off, kudos to Dani Medina for writing a clear, concise, detailed report on this incident. Journalism is NOT dead!
Second ... “De’Asia”??? Yeah ...
Finally ... the cashier probably should not have pursued the offender, but my “takin’ out the trash” pledge stands. I would not convict the cashier of any crime for his actions in this incident.
At least she did not fling dung.
The woman is acting like a brat.
>> De’Asia Cobb was arrested and charged with battery and disorderly conduct
Doggone violent Asians! 😆
Dang!
Not a good part of town, and, I believe, that location is in Ocala not far from MLK Drive...
They really need to take advantage of these junk stories w/catchier headlines like - Florida woman grabs sausage with hot tongs during fight.
no- the old gray poupon commercials came into my mind because of the title
What kind of sausage we talking here? Like a Slim Jim or a whole kielbasa?
De’Asia Cobb
No photo needed
I never sausage an outrage.
> For them, it’s always the same old grind <
Ha! Good one.
And as a side note, that’s one thing about Free Republic, and conservatives in general. We can find a bit of humor in almost everything.
If this sausage story had been posted on a liberal website, there’d be no humorous comments. Not even one.
“threw a sausage and Coke can”
“Have a Coke and a Sausage”? That could catch on.
Something like ‘Headless woman found inside topless bar’
I didn't realized "trespassed" could be used as a verb. Silly me.
Lol
What’s the world coming to when a spotted dick is a weapon!!
Strike weapon and replace with projectile!!
An old girlfriend threw a ham sandwich at me outside of a convenience store once. That was bad enough.
‘bout time we put a stop to this “blacks entitled to terrorize” nonsense.
Discrimination (free choice) is our God-given right and we have the right to do whatever it takes to stop this nonsense.
And OBTW, the feds have NO constitutional power to interfere with our individual free choices (”discrimination”).
