DES MOINES, Iowa - A college student whose friend was being questioned in a hit and run found himself charged with assaulting an officer with a curious choice of weapons: M&Ms.

Sean McGuire was arrested early Sunday at a convenience store after Drake University security guards noticed the colored candies falling on the ground around the officer. When the officer turned around, an M&M hit his shoulder, according to a police report...........

what a waste of perfectly good candy. where they peanut or the plain ones? cuz the peanut ones are big and can hurt

Another high and mighty oink oink.
I'm surprised the kid wasn't tasered.
Heck if he was black and in New York he'd probably been shot 51 times because the officer thought the M&Ms were a gun.
I know a couple of good cops, but from my experience most cops are crazy power tripping a-holes that are more worried about citizens trying to get them than protecting and serving.

i thought they would give him a reward for the candy ;D

I would of tossed skittles at them.
