A Michigan man, apparently upset because his food included onions, is jailed on charges he made drunken threats to shoot the owner of a Pittsburgh restaurant before exposing himself, reports the AP. Police say 43-year-old Yuba Sharma ate at All Indiana restaurant on Monday night and then returned Tuesday to rant and complain about the onions. The owner tells police Sharma threatened to shoot him, so he called police.

That's when Sharma—confronted by the restaurant owner and another employee—pulled down his pants and exposed himself, police say, adding the Rochester man resisted arrest and had to be lifted and carried to a police cruiser. He remained in the Allegheny County Jail on Thursday on charges of terroristic threats, indecent exposure, public drunkenness, and resisting arrest. (More weird crimes stories.)
