When you woke up today, I’m pretty sure you never expected to read the headline ‘man kills brother over cheeseburger’ – but guess what – it happened.
As usual, the weirdness comes to us from Florida where a man got into an argument with his brother over what must have been quite a tasty piece of cow.
Now, you’re probably wondering what lead to the man killing his brother over the burger, right? Me too. Unfortunately, we’re probably never going to know because the dude who did it says he can’t remember much of it.
A 25-year-old St. Cloud man is facing murder charges after shooting and killing his brother Thursday night during an argument over a cheeseburger, police said.
Benjamin Middendorf called 911 about 10 p.m. and told police he had just shot his brother, Nicholas, at their home on Sixth Street, between Michigan and Virginia avenues, an arrest report said.
Police talked with Benjamin Middendorf, who said he doesn’t drink alcohol and was home when his mom and brother came back from the bar, the report states. Nicholas started bullying him, Benjamin told police, and they argued over a cheeseburger.
He said he couldn’t remember much after that, according to the report. Police said Benjamin owns a 9 mm pistol and had blood on his clothes and body.
Middendorf is facing a charge of first-degree murder and is being held in the Osceola County Jail.
