Police Examine

According to Capt. Chris Clark, the woman claimed that she was simply offering her male acquaintance, who is 57 years old, a bite of her sandwich when it accidentally fell and hit him in the face. However, the man felt threatened by her actions and accused her of assaulting him with the sandwich.

The sandwich was examined by police and was found to still be intact, but "floppy." The report did not specify the type of sandwich used.
