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.

‘There’s gotta be a few “Is that a pickle.....” jokes in there...’

I’m sure there are; I’m not relishing the idea of hearing them...

I don’t want a pickle, I just want to ride my motorcycle.

“Grow up, city worker. It’s a pickle.”

So you wouldn’t mind if I showed up at your work an assaulted you with a preserved vegetable?

Hi.

Herrmannsdoerfer is in a pickle now.

Just because he is from Herrmann’s dorf doesn’t mean he will relish this situation.

The timing was wrong. Had it been lunch time while the worker was eating a sandwich, it would have been appreciatively accepted.

How would you like to be working on the side of the road while people drive past and throw things at you?

I doubt simple littering cover that.

Hey! Have you ever been hit by a 50 MPH pickle?

Especially one of those extra large ones?

I thought not.

(Except for that time in band camp ...)

;)
