VEEDERSBURG, Ind.-
A foundry worker accused the wrong man of putting motor oil on his peanut butter and jelly sandwich–and wound up taking a trip to the hospital.
Bradley McManomy, 27, of Veedersburg, stabbed 22-year-old Jeremy Gordon twice in his lower leg with a 3- to 4-inch blade, police said.
Gordon confronted McManomy on Tuesday in a restroom of the Fountain Foundry Corp. in Veedersburg, 30 miles southwest of Lafayette, because he thought McManomy had put the oil on his sandwich, police said.
“It wasn’t even the right guy,” Fountain County Sheriff Robert Bass said. “This is an example of how just a practical joke could turn bad.”
McManomy was arrested on suspicion of battery with a deadly weapon. He was being held at the Fountain County Jail on $15,000 bond Wednesday.
Gordon was treated at St. Clare Medical Center in Crawfordsville and released.
Bass said charges might also be filed against Gordon for starting the fight.
