Fish Fry

Jersey City, New Jersey, October 1, 2009:

Authorities say local politician Ron -- who was burned up at his roommate Brad -- fried their pet goldfish and ate some of them. Jersey City police say it's a civil matter and no charges will be filed. The seven goldfish were purchased together by the duo during happier times.

Police spokesman Vance Mitchell says Brad reported on Wednesday that Ron took the goldfish from his room.

Mitchell says the two argued earlier about some wine coolers Ron had bought but Brad had drunk.

Officers who were dispatched to the shared home arrived to find four fried goldfish on a plate. Ron said he had already eaten the other three.
