On Friday, police were called to a home in the Excelsior District to break up another argument over basic needs. This time it was about food -- rotting food.
Apparently, one of the residents isn't good at cleaning up after herself, and a fellow resident couldn't stand the stench any longer. He got "upset" with her over the scent, and thus the fight began.
The verbal argument escalated, and the female resident told police that her angry counterpart made an overt move toward her. The male resident didn't deny the attempted assault, admitting to police the smell of rotting who-knows-what drove him to it. He was arrested and cited.
We're sure lawyers are already salivating over the composting Twinkie defense.
