A Lake Tahoe man has been convicted of burglary while armed with … a potato.

The 41 year old man went to the victim’s home to confront her about a dispute she had with his girlfriend.

He allegedly forced his way inside the residence and was holding a potato on which he’d carved the first initial of the victim’s first name. He then repeatedly threatened the victim.

Police arrived and arrested him.

Why a potato you ask???

He reportedly told officers he used the potato to “increase his punching power.”

He was sentenced to a year behind bars in the County Jail.

This is why you should always have a French fry cutter at home.  You’ll feel a lot safer. That, and you can make fries.
