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.
all the news thats fit to print...
I can relate. I like to throw my pickle around too.
One of Aunt Bea’s pickles. They can be deadly. Remember the fly that alighted on one. It’s dead.
1st thing that came to mind also, see post 40.

It’s the only way to be sure.
“”Troopers were given a description of the vehicle “”
What was the description of the pickle?
as my daughter said as she worked the McD drive-thru window at age 16, when the woman wanted her burger medium rare with 1 pickle not two and light mustard, lady this is McDonald’s there a Birger King down the street where you can have it your way.
You get the “Attention to Detail” award for today.
Wow, that leave the police in kind of a pickle, doesn’t it.
Maybe the assailant works with Brinetifa.
DANG!
What a Gherk-in!.....................
Probably still a civilized part of the country. No big dill.
That is nothing! 2 peanuts were walking down the street, and one of them was assaulted.. peanut!
I don’t wave my large pickle around for just this very reason.
What’s the charge?
ADW
Assault with a dill weapon
There’s gotta be a few “Is that a pickle.....” jokes in there...
This story sours me.
This kind of stood out :)
