STRANGE NEWS: MAN GETS 33 YEARS FOR KILLING OVER HOT SAUCE (586 hits)
A Kansas City man has been sentenced to 33 years in prison for killing a man during a melee that erupted when someone threw a bottle of hot sauce.
The Kansas City Star reports that 29-year-old Jarvis T. Williams was sentenced Thursday for his convictions on second-degree murder, three counts of assault and four counts of armed criminal action.
Prosecutors claim he fired more than 20 rounds from an assault rifle into a car in October 2005, killing 22-year-old Gary Scott and wounding three others.
Prosecutors said the victim had thrown a bottle of hot sauce at a woman’s car, angering Williams.
They had requested a life sentence. Williams’ public defender did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
