A Slurpee from 7-Eleven is a great way to beat the heat on a summer day, but no one wants to wear one.
A Florida man who thought he was charged too much for the frozen drink expressed his outrage by pouring the slushy beverage on a worker and it landed him in jail for battery. Cops say 40-year-old Brian Duffy told them he argued with the employee over the price of the drink but didn’t recall spilling it on her, but a quick look at the store’s surveillance footage clearly showed that he did. He is currently being held in jail on $2,500 bail and has been ordered to stay away from the victim. (The Smoking Gun)
Hot Takes:
- He should be sentenced to between seven and eleven years in jail.
- His bail should have been set at $711.
- It’s like $1.59 for a Slurpee. It’s not so outrageous and certainly not worth going to jail over.
