MUNCIE -- City police said a Frankfort man picked the wrong time to cut in line at the north Walmart store on Sunday, setting the stage for events that landed both him and his father in the Delaware County jail.

Edward R. Pluhar Jr., 26, was preliminarily charged with battery on police officer Chris Kirby, while his father, 61-year-old Edward R. Pluhar Sr., was preliminarily charged with criminal recklessness with a vehicle and intimidation.
According to police reports, officer Kirby was off duty as he waited in Walmart's customer service line with his wife and daughter Sunday afternoon, and watched the younger Pluhar walk past him and directly to the service desk.
The police officer told Pluhar Jr. he needed to wait his turn, but the Frankfort man purportedly refused.
The elder Pluhar then allegedly approached the off-duty officer, told him to mind his own business and asked whether Kirby wanted to take the dispute outside.

Claudia, An off-duty police officer has no business doing what? Speaking up when someone is rude and ignorant? I think he did that as a private citizen, it's their dumb luck that they tried to intimidate an off-duty cop.

READ the full story...the Bad A$$ boys weren't busted for jumping the line at walmart, the father and son tag team was busted for threats of physical violence. Yes, I'm glad these two were taken off the street.
