Humboldt County Jail Inmate Stabbed by Sharpened Spork

This is a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

Humboldt County Sheriff badgeOn Wednesday, September 6, 2017 at approximately 1550 hours a Correctional Deputy was conducting routine checks in a dormitory style housing unit when he noticed multiple inmates looking into the bathroom area. He responded to the area and noticed an inmate being assaulted by Francisco Mendoza. He immediately called for back-up.

After several verbal commands to get Mendoza to stop the assault, the deputy deployed his department issued taser. After being tazed Mendoza complied with the commands and was handcuffed by responding deputies.

Upon investigating the scene a sharpened spork was found that appeared to be used in the assault.

The victim received wounds to his forehead, ear, neck and arm area as a result of the assault. The victim’s injuries were not life threatening and were treated by facility medical staff.

Mendoza was charged with PC245(a)(1) Assault with a Deadly Weapon, PC245(a)(4) Assault by Force Likely to Produce Great Bodily Injury, and PC1203.2 Violation of Probation under HCSO Case #201704435.

if the hacks are wondering where the weapon came from they should look no further than colonel sanders. Who has done more than that deranged Kentuckian to proliferate these vile tools of scooping/shallow poking? Maybe I want to eat my coleslaw with a regular spoon thank you very much. Chopsticks and knives would be much safer.

The name Spork was trademarked registered by the Van Brode Milling Co., Inc., of Clinton, Massuchests in 1969 for a piece of cutlery combining the features of a spoon, a fork and sometimes a knife. A New York Times article mentions that Hyde Ballard of Westtown, Pennsylvania filed an application to register “Spork” as a trademark around 1952. In the United Kingdom, “Spork” has been trademark registered by Plastico Limited (TM 1052291) since 1975.
The name spork has been in common use since at least 1900 and appeared in the 1909 Century Dictionary supplement. There are many patents for sporks with or without the use of the name itself dating back over one hundred years.

Can’t blame everything on the Colonel. And sometimes I do like the Original Recipe, if well-prepared.

Kind of like a spoon with short, fork-like, tines at the end.

We often assume it was some thing “in side”that provokes the attack. Probably not the case.
