Man Throws Potatoes at Woman in Walmart, Police Say
Herald-Tribune ^ | Thursday, August 11, 2011

A 36-year-old man accused of assaulting a 66-year-old woman inside a Walmart remains in the Sarasota County jail today in lieu of $10,000 bail.

Venice Police arrested Steven Renard Grant on a charge of battery on a person 65 or older late Tuesday night.

Officers say that Grant approached the woman inside Walmart, 17000 Tamiami Trail, and claimed to work for God. When the woman told him she did not think so, Grant reportedly told her she was going to Hell, screamed profanities at her, pushed her shopping cart and started throwing potatoes from the produce section at her.

Other customers reportedly came to the woman's aid until police arrived.

Probably the story is that the guy is a loony and should have been placed in an institution years ago.

That would be my guess also.

But before someone gets on my case, that is an opinion fromone who doesn't have a degree in pschycotherapy.

If you’re really “kinder and gentler,” you would only throw “sweet potatoes.”

Enough already with the religious arguments!

Musta been one of those there Evangelitical teaparty terrorist religious wingnuts.

Sarah Palin's Rick Perry's fault!

This wouldn't happen if we had sensible potato control laws, and separation of church and shopping.

Lesson from this post: If some dude tells you he works for God, just smile and say” keep up the Good Work”. You’ll get no thanks for shattering delusions.

Not sure either way about alcohol, but most likely a lack of drugs: off his meds.
