An apparently delicious grilled cheese sandwich led to an armed standoff with police in Baltimore. On Sunday night, police were called to a domestic dispute after shots were fired inside a house. A woman and three teenagers exited the house when police arrived. The suspect, who was the father, stayed in the house for three hours before peacefully surrendering by stepping out on the porch unarmed. It turned out the man was upset because someone in his family had taken a bite out of his grilled cheese sandwich.

“Apparently, the man had made a grilled cheese sandwich and either the wife or the daughter, we’re not exactly sure who, but somebody, one of the females in the house, took a bite of his sandwich, and apparently, that enraged him to the point that he fired shots in the house,” said Cpl. Shawn Vinson. Police said there were 15 firearms in the house, and four of them were loaded.

@VanessaWBAL That must have been an epic grilled cheese sandwich.
