(Long Beach Township-AP) -- oad rage has prompted motorists in New Jersey to hurl fingers, fists and insults at each other. But a potato?
Long Beach Township police say Kirk Davis hurled a foil-wrapped cooked potato dripping with butter at Gary Baldwin.
The incident happened earlier this month when Baldwin pulled up next to his fiancee to ask if she wanted him to pick up corn. Davis was behind Baldwin and started blowing his horn.
Baldwin tells the Asbury Park Press he made a hand gesture and then felt something hit the side of the face. He wasn't injured.
Police discovered a box of cooked potatoes in Davis' car.
He's scheduled to appear in court on September fifth.
