Man attacked by...dry rub.

Seems the A.P. was too busy watching football today to do any actual reporting. When this edition went to press the victims were recovering in a plate savory marinade in a walk-in refrigerator.


FRESNO, California (AP) -- Authorities say they've arrested a man who broke into the home of two California farmworkers, stole money, rubbed one with spices and whacked the other with a sausage before fleeing.

Fresno County sheriff's Lt. Ian Burrimond says 22-year-old Antonio Vasquez was found hiding in a field wearing only a T-shirt, boxers and socks after the Saturday morning attack.

He says deputies arrested Vasquez after finding a wallet containing his ID in the ransacked house.

The farmworkers told deputies the suspect woke them Saturday morning by rubbing spices on one of them and smacking the other with an 8-inch sausage.

If I were to ever rob someone, I think that this is how I would do it. I might even toss in some lemon basil marinade, you know, to blind them.
