Police arrested an Ohio man suspected of shooting a stranger in the face outside a strip club after he refused to share his potato chips.
Melvin Wright, 42, stands accused of felonious assault and weapons under disability, according to police, WOIO-TV reported.
It’s unclear if he entered a plea to the charges or retained an attorney to comment on his behalf.
Police apprehended Wright in connection with an alleged shooting Tuesday outside Lusty’s Adventures in Akron, Ohio, after a 31-year-old victim with a gunshot wound to the face sought treatment at an area hospital, according to WEWS-TV.
When questioned about a possible motive in the shooting, the victim told police the suspect allegedly “shot him after he denied his request to give him some of his potato chips,” a news release obtained by WJW-TV stated.
The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.
Wright remains jailed.

I saw a couple reports about the shooting a day or 2 ago, i didn't know they caught the shooter, he must have a serious chip addiction. Anyway, that's Akron for you, nothing about it surprises me.
Not enough details! Plain or barbecue chips?
Chip addiction is a real thing
Can’t put down that bag of potato chips? Science says it’s not you, it’s the junk food.
“Ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, are just as addictive as nicotine, cocaine or heroin, experts say — and more than 1 in 10 people are hooked.”
He got shot in the face, no life-threatening injuries? en.wikipedia.org
I guess you should only to an Ohio strip club when Stormy Daniels is featuring, so there will be lots of cops around.
Was the perp wearing a tip-it stand as a hat?
Defending your Ruffles is justifiable. I broke a guy's nose once because he tried grabbing my nuts.
good to know the victim's injuries are non-life threatening. i do wonder though if his fate might have been way more different if it was over a bag of doritos instead of potato chips.
Sometimes at an Akron club a bag of Grippos BBQ chips may be the most appealing thing you see.
