Politico: A Minnesota man was arrested Monday for throwing two tomatoes at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
According to police, 33-year-old Jeremy Paul Olson threw the tomatoes at Palin from a second-floor balcony in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., while the former GOP vice presidential candidate was signing books at a Barnes & Noble.
Palin was not hit by the flying tomatoes, which instead hit two police officers standing near the former governor. Olson was arrested on charges of suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.
