A 60-year-old Florida man was taken into custody after the police said he struck his roommate with a grocery bag during a dispute over space in an Uber.

The dispute took place outside a Walmart in Ocala where the two men had gone shopping for groceries and other supplies for the group home where they live. Their purchases included several large plants, which left less room for the passengers and their belongings in the vehicle.
