A man was arrested for allegedly throwing two tomatoes at Sarah Palin from the second floor balcony during a book signing event at the Mall of America in Minnesota, MyFoxTwinCities.com. reported.
Neither tomato came close hitting the former 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, but did hit a police officer in the face, the station reported.
The unidentified man may face charges for 'assaulting' a police officer, according to the station.
Die-hard supporters treated the event like another Black Friday, lining up outside in freezing weather before the mall doors opened at 5 a.m.
The Gawker called the Bloomington, MN jail and a bored-sounding officer
answered the phone, apparently indifferent to the feat of produce-based
heroics that had occurred just down the road.
He told us the perp's
name was Jeremy Paul Olson, that he didn't give a permanent residence,
and that he was working alone. He also said Olson will be in court
tomorrow to face charges of disorderly conduct and assault on a police
officer, "since that's who he hit."
Jeremy Paul Olson, American hero is the center left's 'Joe the Plumber'
Rightardia comment: It is unfortunate that the police interfered with man exercising his constitutional rights to tomato Bible Spice.
