Man charged with criminal damage to hamburgers
A man called Stephen Morgan has been charged with criminal damage to two hamburgers worth £5 after becoming involved in an alleged doorstep dispute with a fast food firm.
Morgan, 31, was arrested and taken from his home in handcuffs at the weekend after his family's order with their local pizza parlour in Loughor, near Swansea, arrived minus two burgers.
The incident began when Morgan was at home in with partner Michelle Owen on Saturday evening.
The couple, who have two children, planned to stay in and watch ITV1's The X Factor with other family members.
A dispute is alleged to have started after an order of food with a local pizza parlour arrived without the, no doubt, tasty hamburgers.
Mr Morgan claims it was agreed the group should wait for the rest of the order, he told the South Wales Evening Post.
A dispute is alleged to have started with a delivery man who came to the house later, and £15 compensation was eventually paid out, he claims.
What follows remains unclear, however police visited the address later that evening and arrested Mr Morgan on suspicion of robbery.
He was taken to Swansea Central police station where he was questioned about the incident and held overnight.
A South Wales Police spokesman confirmed that a 31-year-old man was arrested on Saturday evening and has since been charged with causing criminal damage to food valued at £5.
…………..No doubt it will go to court costing the British taxpayer thousands in court fees!!!!!!!
