The incident began after Laflamme asked Hicks to not open the store’s hot cheese dispenser, both parties recounted to police.
Hicks said that Laflamme ‘started to have an attitude’. Laflamme said that Hicks ‘became irate and began calling her several names’.
After Laflamme refused Hicks service, the alleged cheese thrower erupted and threw both the cheese and a sandwich at Laflamme.
