West Norriton Store Torn Apart By Man Furious At The Price Of Soda: Cops

“How much does this soda cost?”

It seems an atypical enough question for anyone working a cash register to hear, but the response usually falls short of violence.

Not so during one recent encounter at a West Norriton Exxon gas station.

A man flew into a rage at the attendant when he heard what the price of soda was, according to a police report.

The suspect walked into the convenience store attached to the gas station at about 9 p.m. on September 23 and asked the employee what the price of the soda was, police said.

When he heard the bad news, he flew into a tantrum, flipping displays, yelling, and even shooting off the soda around the store, according to police.

The suspect was apprehended near the store shortly after the episode, police said.
