BATTERING RAM TO CRACK A PIZZA

LegalView's DumbJustice - Dumb Justice

If you're ever passing through Eastpointe in Michigan and feel the need for a pizza, just make sure you pay for it. The consequences for failure to pay can be dire.

I cite the case of 19 year old Jessica Gray, who was arrested after she and her friends refused to pay for a delivery of pizza, ribs, chicken, shrimp and a soda valued at $17.18. After taking delivery, Gray slammed the door and joined four other female occupants inside - ranging in age from 14 to 21 - in yelling insults and threats when the delivery boy didn't leave.

Attending officers "could hear the occupants laughing and whispering inside but refusing to answer the door. The officers advised the occupants that if they refused to come to the door, it would be opened by force."

True to their word, police used a battering ram to break down the apartment door and arrest Gray.

The words sledgehammer, crack, and nut spring to mind.
