Man Sentenced in Spork Assault

Spork assault nets man prison
1 YEAR: Victim was stabbed with hybrid fork-spoon utensil.

A man who stabbed another man with a spork, a combination fork and spoon, earlier this year in what police said was an attempted robbery was sentenced Thursday to a year in prison for felony assault.

Peter Albert, 52, was originally charged with armed robbery for attempting to steal a man's watch at the intersection of 11th Avenue and Turpin Street in February. The watch wouldn't come off, so Albert ran away after stabbing the victim with what was first believed to be a knife.

In a plea agreement, the charge was reduced to felony assault with a deadly weapon, which comes with a year of prison time, according to prosecutor Gustav Olson.

It isn't that a spork is inherently deadly, Olson said. It's the manner in which it was used. Albert has already served most of his time.

Albert, who police said was intoxicated, left a number of Kentucky Fried Chicken products at the scene of the crime.

When police tracked him down a few blocks away, they found he was carrying a backpack that contained a small pocket knife, a KFC bag and several spoon-fork hybrids.

Good news story but I agree, the comic is great. I had to save it to my computer for future shits and giggles.
