Thread: Argument Over Last Beer Ends With Robbery

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -- A man ended an argument over who drank the last beer by robbing the man he was fighting with early Thursday, Syracuse police said.

Ronald Zimmerman was charged with first-degree robbery, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and first-degree criminal use of a firearm.

Terell Martin, 20, was drinking with Zimmerman at about 3 a.m. when the two men began to argue about the last beer.

Zimmerman pulled a handgun on Martin and went through his pockets, taking cash and a cell phone, police said. Martin claims that Zimmerman then struck him on the ear with the handgun, causing the gun to fire.

Martin called police and Zimmerman drove away.

Police recovered a bullet from the hallway wall.
