Violation of the Prime Directive II
According to Oklahoma City, Okla., police, Jerome Whyte, 23, and another man were hanging out in an apartment when the discussion turned to the relative merits of Star Wars vs. Star Trek. The discussion turned heated and the unnamed man told Whyte, “You’re just a trick,” and walked back to his room. Whyte allegedly followed the man and shoved him to the floor. He stood back up, but Whyte allegedly shoved him back down saying, “You wanna replay that?” Whyte then allegedly got the man in a choke hold. The man pulled out a pocket knife, which Whyte reached for, cutting himself in the process, and then left the room. He was later arrested and charged with assault and battery, possession of marijuana, and outstanding warrants.
