The Roseville police have arrested a 17-year-old Nevada County boy in last week's hot spinach assault of a Boston Market fast food clerk.

The boy, accompanied by his parents, turned himself in at the Police Department about 10 a.m. Wednesday, said Dee Dee Gunther, a spokeswoman for the department.

He was booked into the Roseville jail under suspicion of committing battery causing great bodily harm and then released to his parents' custody.

Police are still working to determine whether the three other youths in the car during the incident should be arrested, Gunther said.


Boston Market employee David Almas, 21, suffered 2nd degree burns on his face and neck when he was the victim of a popular prank called "Fire in the Hole" at the Roseville eatery. Perpetrators threw a scalding hot cup of cream spinach they ordered back through the drive-through window injuring Almas. ANDY ALFARO - Sacramento Bee

1. These assholes should be punished...

but Boston Market should pay a punitive price to make them stop serving food that can scald.


Just like it was fair for McDonalds to have to pay for their ridiculously hot coffee.


There is no excuse.

6. If it's cooked hot enough to meet health department regulations

then it's hot enough to scald, especially since something like that will stick and retain heat.
