Man Allegedly Throws ‘Large Pickle’ Out Window in Vermont, Hurting Worker
NECN ^ | June 2, 2020

A Massachusetts man is likely feeling more sour than sweet after being charged with assault for throwing a pickle out of his car window, hitting a state employee who was working on the road.

Vermont State police said Christoph Herrmannsdoerfer of Williamstown, Massachusetts was driving on Route 7 in Pownal on Monday when he threw a large pickle out of his window.

That pickle happened to hit an Agency of Transportation employee, Carl Hoffman, who was working a detail near the border with Massachusetts, "causing him pain," according to authorities.

Troopers were given a description of the vehicle and the suspect by the Agency of Transportation supervisor on the scene at the time of the incident.

Authorities eventually located Herrmannsdoerfer, who was issued a citation to appear before the Bennington County Superior Court on July 20 to answer to the charges of simple assault.

Troopers were assisted by the Williamstown Police Department in Massachusetts throughout the incident.

When they outlaw pickles, only outlaws will have pickles.

Throwing garbage at highway workers.

Classy. Not.

Not garbage, a pickle. A pickle is a tasty treat.

When it’s not flying at your head, that is.

So let me get this straight. Thugs can loot and burn down buildings and attack store owners, and the police stand by. But a guy throws one pickle, and they haul him in for assault.

Until we outlaw assault pickles, the madness will never end.

You must understand that there are “some” laws that must be upheld.

What are the chances of throwing a pickle out of your car window and injuring a highway worker with the same initials as you?

A littering charge should be the extent of this particular pickle.

Grow up, city worker. It’s a pickle.
