Is a cookie worth criminal charges?

Apparently Girl Scout cookies are.

In Naples, Fla., 31-year-old Hersha Howard woke up her roommate early this past Sunday morning and accused her of eating her Thin Mints.

The roommates argued verbally until Howard picked up a pair of scissors and began chasing her roommate. Howard then repeatedly hit her roommate with a board and then a sign.

Howard has been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

 I, too, understand the allure of the Girl Scout cookie and can't say that I wouldn't resort to violence if I found someone eating my Girl Scout cookies without my consent.

Especially if it were a box of Tagalongs.
