FARGO, N.D. -- Police arrested a 21-year-old man early Saturday after he allegedly assaulted a pizza delivery driver who refused to take marijuana as payment for a pie, police said. The man, charged with robbery, was released from the Cass County Jail after posting $5,000 bond.

Pizza Patrol driver Atif Yasin thought the man was asleep when he arrived to deliver a medium pizza and 20-ounce soda. After knocking a few times and calling the man on his cell phone, Yasin said he answered the door in his boxers.

The man took the pizza, spent a few minutes looking for money and then offered to pay with marijuana, Yasin said.

Yason said when he told the man that he either needed money or the pizza, the man began to yell and pushed him and punched him in the face.

After calling police and waiting for officers to arrive, Yasin delivered two more orders that were waiting in his car.

Officers who arrested the man said he was intoxicated, Sgt. Shannon Ruziska said.

Because the man is accused of assaulting Yasin while committing a theft, he was arrested on suspicion of robbery, Ruziska said.

2. Wasn't this an "Onion" story?

I remember there being one about how everyone involved in the creation, delivery and consumption of the pizza were blasted out of their gourds, and it had these pics of bearded dudes with half opened eyes making and delivering this pizza.

5. This is obviously because being so close to the border pot is available

Its just a matter of supply and demand in other parts of the country the delivery guy would probably take it in trade but since the border is so porous the....hold it wrong border never mind.
