Man assaults clerk with a butter roll, then the chase is on

Jersey City's own David King said it was his birthday. He went into a grocery store at the corner of Montgomery and Florence streets and told a clerk it was his birthday. In fact, he announced "'It's my birthday, what are you giving me for free?". Apparently the clerk's answer of "nothing" displeased Mr. King. He told the clerk he had a knife and threatened to make with the stabbing. However it must have been a butter knife because Mr. King then picked up a butter roll and threw it at the clerk. The clerk called 911, the police arrived and the foot chase was on. Jersey City police chased Mr. King through the Montgomery Gardens housing complex, caught him, and slapped the cuffs on him. Surprising to no one, Mr. King was found to have a vial of 'suspected' cocaine on his person (mmmmm, cocaine and butter rolls) and was arrested.

No word on if he'll be charged with being light and flaky.
