A man who really doesn't have his priorities in order started a fight with two NYPD officers yesterday evening to go to jail because he wanted a meal.
The New York Daily News reports that 27-year-old Bronx native Jihaad Curry entered the 28th Precinct stationhouse in Harlem around 5:20 p.m. He then reportedly proceeded to ask an unorthodox question: "If I go to jail tonight would I get something to eat?" Not getting the timely response he desired, he asked a more direct question: "If I punch you in the face, how long would I go to jail?"
When police attempted to remove him from the premises, he did as he promised, engaging both officers in a tussle which ended with both of them on the ground. As he wished, Curry was arrested for assaulting an officer, in addition to harassment and trespassing. The officers were treated for minor injuries at St. Luke's Hospital.
No word on whether or not Curry got the meal he wanted.
