A Kentucky man is accused of shooting his roommate in the buttocks after he ate the last Hot Pocket.

Clifton Williams, 64, is alleged to have started throwing tiles at his roommate after finding out there were no more of the microwavable snacks left - before things turned violent.

According to court records: “Williams was mad because the man had eaten the last Hot Pocket.”

The roommate told officers that he had attempted to fight back and ‘beat his ass’ but this just made Williams angrier and he went inside their home to get a pistol.

Police said he then shot the gun, hitting his roommate in the buttocks.

The victim, who has not been named, told cops he had shouted, ‘Don't shoot’, but that Williams 'shot him in the ass while he was trying to leave'.

The victim says he ran a few blocks to go and get help and was later taken to University of Louisville Hospital for treatment.

Four hours after the incident unfolded, Williams was arrested by officers from the Louisville Metro Police Department and charged with felony assault.
