MUNCIE, Ind. – A 26-year-old man and his father were arrested after an off-duty Muncie police officer complained about the man cutting in line at a Wal-Mart store. Police reports said Edward R. Pluhar Jr. of Frankfort cut to the front of the line at the Wal-Mart service desk Sunday. What he didn't know was that Officer Chris Kirby was waiting in the line.

Kirby said Pluhar refused when Kirby asked him to wait his turn. Pluhar's father, 61-year-old Edward R. Pluhar Sr., then asked Kirby if he wanted to step outside. That's when Kirby reportedly told the men he was a police officer.

Kirby followed the men into the parking lot where they scuffled. Other officers arrived and arrested both Pluhars. They were released after posting bond.

Pluhar Sr., however, gave a different version of events leading up to his arrest.

"There's a lot more to the story," he said.

Is it really easier to post and ask this question than just read the article?

Well since they scuffled I'm going to guess Assaulting a police officer and most likely resisting arrest. Oh yeah, and cutting in line, because that's a cuss.

No problem sir.

Police said Pluhar backed into Kirby's leg as he attempted to leave the parking lot while Kirby was standing behind the vehicle.

How would he have been able to do that unless Kirby was standing behind their car? The policeman seems very much to be the aggressor here.

Right on.

I'm inclined to believe the father and son.
Why would anyone start a fight over someone complaining about jumping the queue, which sounds like it was legit anyway. The shop clerk waved him to the front because of item exchanging. Surely the shop staff could verify this?

Also police have a larger history of lying than a random member of the public so....

Can you take out that last line? It would make your post better.

Fuck that, the guy and his son were douchebags, and they were stupid. Don't hit a fucking cop with your car retard. I side with the cop on this one, which is fairly rare for me.

And for the record, I'm sure Kirby was standing behind the car to keep them from leaving before other cops showed up.

Besides, it sounds like the guys were just being impatient douchebags. I hate people who think that their time is more important than mine.
