Kentucky man allegedly shot roommate after he ate last Hot Pocket

It was a hot commodity.

A 64-year-old Kentucky man allegedly shot his roommate in the butt because he had eaten their last Hot Pocket.

Clifton Williams became enraged after learning the frozen snack was gone, and began throwing tiles at the man in their Louisville home, police told WLKY-TV.

The roommate then tried to flee the home — but not before Williams allegedly went inside, got a gun, and shot him in the buttocks before he could escape, the report said.
