Des Moines, Iowa (AP) – M-and-M’s might be dangerous to your diet. But a college student is facing charges — for allegedly assaulting a police officer with M-and-M’s.
Authorities in Des Moines, Iowa, report arresting Sean McGuire at a convenience store after an M-and-M hit an officer on the shoulder. Police were questioning a friend of McGuire’s in a hit and run, when Drake University security guards noticed the colored candies falling around the officer. The police report says McGuire told officers he was sticking up for his friend. McGuire was released Sunday night on $1,000 bail.
Cripes!
Good. Throwing anything at anyone is bad, no less at a police officer.
I’m not sure I agree with the editorial decision to write the candy’s name as as “M-and-M’s”. Has the writer never seen a bag of M&M’s before?
The headline reads m&m but as you read further you see that it’s m&m’s, not one, but MANY “colored candies falling on the floor”. Cripes.

jeeze, police state, Please! a college student, that means he’s not 2 fucking years old, was arrested for throwing M&M’s at a police officer. He stated that he was sticking up for his friend. More like he was acting like an immature douche. That kid needs to grow up.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Quite typical though of today’s youth. They have absolutely no respect for anything or anybody.
I would have dropped the charges – IF he had thrown Reese’s Pieces. yum!
Total BS. I am sure if someone through an M&M at me and I filed a police report about it the report would get tossed in the trash immediately. These cops have a lot of nerve arresting people for crap like this. Seriously.
He’s lucky. They should have tasered him.
Damn kids today!
No respect…I tell ya, I never get no respect…
And get off my lawn!!!
$1,000 bail? c’mon.
Should have thrown a knife instead.

You couldn’t have said it better because you are even less intelligent.
Kid got what he deserved. He should be thankful its not the good old days or else he would have been taking the long way to the jail!
I wouldn’t consider it a police state action. Throwing M&Ms just show that he’s an immature little prick, who needs to learn respect. If you really want to watch something that resembles a police state, check this video.
Throwing M&Ms demonstrates he’s an immature little p**k meaning he’s morally corrupt, and that’s not fixable.
Therefore this punk can count his lucky stars that he wasn’t sentenced to execution without a trial (see “unprotected person” clause of 2006 Military Commission Act) for being on a track of terrorism against the United States.
Because Ya never know.
Better safe than sorry!
This kid will think twice the next time he gets the urge to have a food fight with an unsuspecting cop.
He threw an M&M.
To consider this assaulting a police officer, you have to have a GOD COMPLEX; but then again, that is what a POLICE STATE (USA)it’s Neo Con leadership is all about.
Any hint of decent in the ranks (civilians) must be dealt with severely.
When are these NEO CONS (Nazis) going to get a life?
We should send these over reactive turds over to IRAQ to learn what real assault is!
The law should not affect unjustly.
Its well known that M&M’s are gateway objects leading rapidly to rocks, knives, then guns.
Little kiddies need to learn they can verbally abuse cops with profanity and worse, big words, but “getting physical” is a no-no.
Learn it early, move on, live long and prosper.
#8 “And get off my lawn!!!”
Yeah! Get off my LAN too!!!
hmm…
This seems more like a overzealous prosecutes office than a action by some super authoritarian police non-sense.
Maybe lock him/her up for a day with disorderly conduct at the most then release him with a fine/community service if anything at all.This is just a case where the prosecutors office is using a law terribly out of its context to apply it to as many situations as possible,most likely to get more money for the state but my tinfoil hat isn’t firmly on enough to come to that conclusion.
In all honesty the cop should have done a drive by pieing after the m&m incident so the suspect could claim assault with a delicious weapon :p.
