A Florida man was arrested after he “threw pasta and sauce” during a road rage incident

A Florida man was arrested after throwing pasta and sauce at another driver in a bizarre road rage incident.

Nolan Goins, 46, was arrested Thursday on a misdemeanor count of simple assault, jail records show, after he was allegedly involved in a traffic accident due to “blinding headlights.”

According to an affidavit, Mr. Goins was traveling on Park Street near Bay Pines Boulevard in St. Petersburg, Florida, around 9 p.m. when the glare of a driver’s headlights caused a traffic accident.

While traffic was still moving, Mr. Goins allegedly threw “pasta with sauce” from his passenger side, throwing the food out his open window and striking another person who was driving at the time, the affidavit states.

Although the driver was hit in the arm, legs and torso, the noodles did not cause any injuries.

Mr. Goins was later found with the same food stains on the right sleeve of his shirt, arrest records say.

He was arrested at the Pinellas County Jail but released the next day on $1,000 bail.

This food-related road rage incident is, oddly enough, not the first to occur recently that also involved pasta.

A little over a week earlier in Indianapolis, police showed up at the scene of a violent road rage incident involving a pregnant woman who was visibly shaking and covered in spaghetti.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police were called to the scene of an accident on April 17 after a driver reported that a woman in a GMC SUV was following her and pointing a handgun.

According to Fox59 reports, the woman allegedly nearly hit the pregnant woman’s car and chased her to an intersection where she threw a container of spaghetti into the victim’s open window.

The victim got out of her car to speak with the woman and exchange insurance information, but the woman allegedly pointed a gun at her.

The woman was later arrested but denied ever pointing a gun.

The Independent has contacted the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office for more information.
