A Madison man whose last name is Bacon, ironically, was arrested for assaulting another person during a dispute over food, police said.

On May 12 at 3:32 a.m., Officer Lisa Esposito responded to a Main Street residence for a reported dispute in progress, Lt. Joseph Cirella said.

Even more ironically, the dispute was over sausage.

When Esposito arrived, she found Thomas Bacon, 19, had allegedly assaulted another person inside the house over eating a piece of sausage, Cirella said.

Because of the sausage, Bacon was charged with simple assault and given a municipal court date.
