Vermont police made an arrest after a highway worker reported being injured Monday by a large pickle tossed from a moving car.


Troopers responded to a report of an assault on an Agency of Transportation employee working at the state border crossing in Pownal, state police said.


“Troopers learned that a passenger in a vehicle traveling south on U.S. 7 threw an object out the window, later determined to be a large pickle, which struck the victim and caused him pain,” police said.

The injured worker was Carl Hoffman, 59.

Eventually, troopers learned the passenger was Christoph Herrmannsdoerfer, 34, of Williamstown, Mass., police said.


He was charged with simple assault and ordered to appear in court next month.

Film at 11.... 😟

I could go for a big pickle right about now

I got in trouble for putting my pecker into the pickle slicer...

She got yelled at, too, though.

Pretty sure people don't throw stuff at the guys that are working in the cone zone.

Just sayin'

I heard it was a cucumber or zucchini, not a pickle!

At what speed does a pickle disintegrate..?? 🤔

I thought this was a Hobo’s complaint about camping with Z...

Probably depends if it's whole or cut into quarters, slices or chips, I would think.

Whole pickle... 😟

this has made me half sour

speeding pickles could travel at very high speeds without disintegrating...

it is only when a speeding pickle comes to a sudden and complete stop while colliding with something else, that it disintegrates

Pickles at terminal velocity are known to disintegrate. I'm 98.2% sure of that.

Doesn't sound kosher...

That’s what she said

never said it to me

Better a tossed pickle than a tossed salad. Dont believe me? Check out Opie and Mr. Jones on Grinder.

no way, man.

I bet they've been smacked by several large pickles... 😟

Man if I had a dollar for every time my tossed pickle caused pain......

I bet Jade would be worth a couple hundred at least... 😟
