A lawyer in Florida is facing charges after purportedly trying to enforce proper etiquette at a wedding buffet table by allegedly using his plate to assault a man who allowed his daughters to cut in front of him.

On January 18, the Boca Lago Country Club in Boca Raton hosted a wedding reception that featured a meat carving station with prime rib as part of the meal offerings. Several guests were waiting their turn, and a line formed. One of the people waiting in line was identified as a 52-year-old local attorney who represents clients in bankruptcy, commercial litigation, business disputes, and collections cases. Two young girls approached the man standing in front of him. The man invited them to enter the line and stand with him, causing them to cut in front of the lawyer. He reportedly became upset and began arguing with him for allowing it, and when he turned away from him, he allegedly broke a plate over the man’s head.

The authorities were notified, and the suspect was taken into custody. He is facing a preliminary charge of felony aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. It was reported that while he initially chose not to talk to the authorities without an attorney present, he later discussed the incident. He reportedly said he was hungry and had a verbal dispute with the alleged victim when the girls cut. He said he shoved the man but did not admit to hitting him with a plate. He was released after posting bond.

A woman is facing charges after she was accused of stealing from a Dollar General store in northeastern Florida and battering the pregnant employee who tried to intervene.

Late in the morning on January 2, a woman rode a bicycle to a Dollar General in Palm Coast so she could pick up a lighter. The patron, who was described as wearing a blonde wig, a hat, and a scarf, was allegedly seen approaching the checkout counter near the shelf where the lighters are kept. When she learned they cost $2.00 each, the woman reportedly told the cashier that she did not have enough to pay for one. She allegedly grabbed the lighter anyway and headed towards the door. The cashier, who was 8 months pregnant at the time, tried to stand in the way so she could not leave the building, but the woman allegedly shoved her and walked out.

The authorities were notified, but before they arrived, the suspect had already ridden away on her bike. They talked to the cashier and a witness and set out to locate the woman.
