A Roseville man was arrested Saturday night after a DoorDash order for a turkey leg from the Michigan Renaissance Festival reportedly ended in a physical altercation at his home. The man had ordered a turkey leg that cost about $15, but with delivery, service and other fees, the total came to roughly $90 before tip. The situation reportedly escalated when the man learned the DoorDash driver had paid the $29.95 admission fee to enter the festival and pick up the order and wanted to be reimbursed. After spending more than an hour making the trip to Roseville, the driver arrived with the turkey leg, but the man took one bite, complained that it was cold and allegedly struck the driver in the face with the turkey leg, causing him to bleed. The driver, who is reportedly a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, grabbed the turkey leg and fought back, leaving the Roseville man with two black eyes before neighbors called police. Officers responding to the home reportedly separated the two men and took statements from both parties before placing the Roseville man under arrest. He was later released on bail and is expected to appear in court on the charges. The man said he had been drinking when he placed the order and acknowledged that alcohol played a role in his actions. He also said that had he been sober, he never would have spent nearly $90 on a turkey leg. The turkey leg was reportedly taken into evidence as part of the investigation.
