Conway man allegedly attacked a stranger with frozen pizza rolls at a Walmart in SC
A man was sent to the hospital after a stranger allegedly attacked him and a woman with frozen pizza rolls in the checkout line of Walmart.
Jeremiah Harris, 27, was arrested for third degree assault and battery, assault of a high and aggravated nature and disorderly conduct. He is being held at J. Reuben Long Detention Center without bail.
On Dec. 31 around 12:45 p.m., a 42-year-old woman and 66-year-old man were headed to check out at Walmart, 2709 Church St. when they asked which lane Harris was in, according to the police report. Harris responded “with profanity.”
When the pair went to check out, Harris allegedly hit the man with a grocery bag containing frozen pizza rolls, according to the report. The man reacted in self defense and Harris hit him in the face, which put the victim on the ground. Harris then kicked and stomped on the man.
The woman tried to intervene but was also struck in the face and pushed into the check out counter. When police arrived, they saw the woman had a bruised arm and red face while the man had a busted lip. The man requested EMS and he was brought to the hospital.
The incident report did not state what kinds of injuries the man received but said Harris caused “great bodily harm.”
