PD: Clerk Arrested For Knocking Cap Off Child Who Repeatedly Called Him 'Fat'
Middletown Police say an ALDI supermarket cashier did so because he couldn't believe the boy's parents were allowing him to act so rudely.
On Aug. 21 at 7:44 p.m., Middletown police were called to Aldi supermarket on Washington Street for a disturbance. The complainant said she was in line waiting to be rung up, the report says, by cashier Jason Perry, 24, of Sunset Terrace, and her 4-year-old son called him a "fat guy" five times. Perry, the report says, flicked her son's baseball cap off his head and it fell into the carriage. Perry said the mother laughed after the child said it so he flicked the boy's hat off to show his parents how rude the child was being, the report details. Video confirmed the incident, police say.
Perry was arrested for disorderly conduct.
