A U.S. Navy recruit was arrested for assaulting his commanding officer. His weapon of assault was a chocolate cream pie. The sentencing followed a trial at which Soupy Sales testified as an expert witness. He said he had received over 19,000 pies in the face during his career, and did not believe that it constituted an assault. The court was unimpressed and sentenced him to 6 months in jail, rank demotion, and a fine.
