A Florida man found himself behind bars after he hurled a sandwich at a Subway employee because he was upset at how it was cut, deputies said.
Alberto De Barros, 54, was charged with battery after the incident that unfolded on Jan. 9 at the Subway at 5924 SE Federal Highway in Stuart, according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office.
An employee was making a sub for De Barros at around 5:15 p.m. when he "became upset with her after finding out his sandwich was not separated," the affidavit said. The two had a "brief verbal exchange" and De Barros started to cause a "disruptive" scene.
The employee said she would no longer serve him, and that's when De Barros made a phone call, the affidavit said. Moments later, while he was still on the phone, De Barros allegedly hurled the sandwich at the employee. The sub hit her in her mid- to lower-body.

Florida man shot, killed teen roommate after being asked to move out, deputies say
The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office has arrested two men who have been identified as suspects in the murder of a 17-year-old Winter Park resident.
Conrad Holaway was found deceased inside his home on Zelina Point by family members last month. The family members reported hearing multiple gunshots around 3 a.m. on the morning of Dec. 19. Later in the day, upon checking on Holaway, they found him unresponsive in his bedroom and called 911.
Detectives said they later learned that one of Holaway's friends, Alan Javon Morris, 19, of Orlando, had been staying at the home temporarily for several weeks. They said a series of disagreements between Holaway and Morris unfolded in the days following Morris being told to move out of the house. Detectives said Morris returned to the house on Dec. 19 and shot Holaway multiple times through a window.
"The last 30 days has been really, really hard to, uh, to feel safe in our home," said Delina Davis, Conrad's mother.
"He called me ‘Mom.’ He lived here. He wore Conrad's clothes. He laid in the spot where I found Conrad," Davis said of Morris. "Against my better judgment, I let him stay because I knew he had nowhere else to go."

The incident happened late Tuesday afternoon at the Waterford East Apartments on Island Bay Drive [GMap].
