Man Sentenced For Assault In Roommate Sausage Dispute

A dispute between roommates over breakfast sausages has led one of the roommates to get a 25 year sentence for assault.



Donte Frye was sentenced after he was convicted of throwing a pot of boiling water at his roommate in April of last year.



Prosecutors say Frye thought his roommate had eaten his sausages.



The judge handed down the sentence, based on Frye's prior record. He has two convictions of attempted murder...both for stabbing roommates in separate incidents in 1993 and 2004.



Prosecutors say Frye's a "violent repeat offender" who hasn't shown remorse, even mocking the victim of the boiling water attack in a recorded jail call.
