Battle Creek Enquirer

ONION FIGHT: Battle Creek police arrested a father, 55, and his son, 29, after they fought Sunday over an onion. Officers said they were called at 4:07 p.m. to the 400 block of Wellington Avenue in Bedford Township by another relative who said the father assaulted the son. Both men live in the house and the son said his father receives food stamps but sells them for crack cocaine and then eats the son's food. The son said they have had numerous conversations about the subject but that the father continues to eat the son's food. The father said the son became angry over an onion and began the assault. Neither were injured seriously and neither wanted to pursue charges, however officers arrested both men and took them to the Calhoun County jail.
