BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (WCCO)

Jeremy Paul Olson of St. Paul was arrested Dec. 7, 2009 after
witnesses said he threw a tomato at former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin
during her appearance at the Mall of America.
Bloomington Police Department
officers say two of their own were hit by tomato fragments instead,
after the tomato hit the stage about 10 feet from Palin. People on the
second level balcony, where the tomato was thrown from, helped police
apprehend the man accused of throwing it.

Police identified him as 33-year-old Jeremy Paul Olson from St. Paul,
but they think he also goes by the name Jeremiah Wobbe. Police said he
was arrested and booked on assault and disorderly conduct charges.
Officers added that when they arrested him, they found two more
tomatoes he'd been carrying.


Answer to your first line:
I certainly hope so. Cops getting fragged by a killer tomato is a
serious offense. It's nice to see courageous citizens assisting the
police apprehend the perp.

Tomatoes. Something else for you to fear, JPS
