SANDY, Utah, July 23 (UPI) -- Police said they have arrested a Sandy, Utah, man who allegedly pulled a handgun on a fellow motorist who asked if he had any "Grey Poupon."
Investigators said the 22-year-old man was incensed at the request for Dijon mustard, an oft-used reference to an old commercial for the product featuring two men rolling down their windows at an intersection, and pulled a black handgun from his glove compartment, The Salt Lake Tribune reported Wednesday.
The three occupants of the other car said the man cocked the weapon, pointed it at them, and said: "Here's your Grey Poupon, roll your ... windows up."
Police said one of the car's occupants took down the man's license plate number and the suspect admitted to the incident when confronted by officers. The 22-year-old man was charged with a third-degree felony count of aggravated assault.
