FARGO, N.D. May 1, 2005 — Police arrested a 21-year-old man early Saturday after he allegedly assaulted a pizza delivery driver who refused to take marijuana as payment for a pie, police said. The man, charged with robbery, was released from the Cass County Jail after posting $5,000 bond.
Pizza Patrol driver Atif Yasin thought the man was asleep when he arrived to deliver a medium pizza and 20-ounce soda. After knocking a few times and calling the man on his cell phone, Yasin said he answered the door in his boxers.
The man took the pizza, spent a few minutes looking for money and then offered to pay with marijuana, Yasin said.
Yason said when he told the man that he either needed money or the pizza, the man began to yell and pushed him and punched him in the face.
After calling police and waiting for officers to arrive, Yasin delivered two more orders that were waiting in his car.
Officers who arrested the man said he was intoxicated, Sgt. Shannon Ruziska said.
Because the man is accused of assaulting Yasin while committing a theft, he was arrested on suspicion of robbery, Ruziska said.
Yasin did not seek medical attention for his injuries. The right side of his face was still red and swollen Saturday afternoon, he said.
Yasin, a 22-year-old Minnesota State University Moorhead student, said it is the first time he's been assaulted in three years delivering pizza.
He said he was a little nervous to work his next shift, which began at midnight on Sunday. Yasin said he'll handle it differently if he encounters a similar situation again.
"I won't argue to the people who took the pizza," he said. "I'll just leave right away."
"he arrived to deliver a medium pizza and 20-ounce soda".......and some twinkies, some pringles, some slim jims, some cheeze puffs....
So did the weed or the booze cause the man to go postal? This needs to be answered before the busybodies show up & automatically blame the weed and the Libertarian Party.
Gives new meaning to pot pie.
Firing squad for the pot peddler.
No sarcasm.
DUUUUUUUDE!

Excellent! Sounds like a take out of an old Cheech and Chong movie!!
Hmm... and I didn't think marijuana users were supposed to be violent...
Must be legal in North Dakota to possess weed since the cops didn't charge the man with possession.
"Hmm... and I didn't think marijuana users were supposed to be violent..."
I just hate it when the leftwing hippy and libertarian view of the pothead is proven false by reality.
Calling Cohen Brothers.
Pot pie ping.
Atif's not here, man.
I'm thinking he was probably liquored up and just happend to have a little weed lying around on the coffee table.
I see nothing about the article that indicated booze was involved, only pot.
You should have kicked his ass, Yasin. Sorry, but the last thing I'm going to do if someone punches me in the face is whimper like a female dog and call the cops.
People have become totally feminized and are too afraid to defend themselves.
This is why you always get the money, then give the pizza.
ROFL!
