Another case of road rage with coffee in northern Virginia has led to charges of throwing a missile. A missile you ask..yes a missile. Apparently in Virginia they have a law against throwing missiles and coffee can be considered a missile if it is thrown in angst. A 40 year old man argued with another motorist while driving. The man became so upset that he fired his coffee missile, hitting the person in the passenger seat in the other car. What a relief.. noone was injured by the coffee missile.. but the perpetrator will be charged with a felony.
The arrest came less than a week after “McMissile Mom” avoided prison time on similar charges in Stafford County. However she still faces a 2 year prison term for throwing a coffee cup at another motorist. The judge instructed the jury that any physical object can be a missile and be propelled by any force, including throwing. The jury convicted Hall and recommended the minimum of two years in prison.
