Man arrested for throwing peach pie at woman who wouldn't support his nicotine habit

Police arrested a near a restaurant in Clackamas, Oregon, man on Friday, accusing him of throwing a peach pie at a woman who refused to give him a cigarette. The woman was not injured, but had to clean peach pie filling off her car.

Sgt. Dan Kraus, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office spokesman, said a man approached the woman at around 8am and asked her for a cigarette. When she refused, the man became agitated. "He got really mad and started yelling," Kraus said. "Then he wound up and threw a pie at her."



After receiving a 911 call, deputies arrived quickly. "And while police were there, he tried to assault her again," Kraus said. "He charged at her – right in front of the deputies." A deputy intercepted the man, threw him to the ground using a hip roll, then handcuffed him.

Joel David Lemasters, 26, who gave no permanent address, was booked into the Clackamas County Jail on suspicion of harassment, criminal mischief and violating parole from a previous conviction. He is being held without bail and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Clackamas County Circuit Court.
