Meet Lyndel Toppin. He is the victim of a poorly made sandwich. His 44 year old girlfriend was totally messing up the sandwich she was supposed to make for him. She placed the cheese on wrongly, and she either knew it was wrong or was too lazy to do it the right way, police said. Naturally, this infuriated Toppin who worked hard all day. The least his woman could have done was show him enough respect to properly prepare his food. "That was the catalyst," police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said.
The woman was preparing dinner last week in her Kingston Road home when Toppin "became enraged due to the victim not placing cheese on his hoagie roll correctly," according to the official arrest affidavit.
Toppin grabbed a knife from the other room and slashed her finger, causing a deep laceration, the so-called victim told police at Delaware County Memorial Hospital, where she received 23 stitches to close the gash.
Also, instead of chomping on the meatball sub that she'd made him, Toppin wrapped his teeth around his girlfriend's left wrist and refused to let go, the criminal complaint further says. "Toppin bit down on the victim's arm and would not release his bite," Upper Darby Investigator Matthew Rowles wrote in his report.
Toppin, 50, of Lansdowne Avenue near Wanamaker Street, West Philadelphia, was charged with aggravated and simple assault, reckless endangerment, possessing an instrument of crime and harassment.
