Keith Anthony Rantin Jr., 31, who was a customer at G&M one day last year, is accused of stabbing 37-year-old Jeffrey Rites as the two men argued over who was next in line. He's charged with first-degree assault.

The two men were at G&M at lunchtime on March 28. Mr. Rites had ordered lunch and was coming to pick it up, while Mr. Rantin, who rehabs houses, was coming to get lunch with two women he knew from a Home Depot where he often shopped.

The prosecutor and defense lawyer agreed on the basic facts: Mr. Rites started to walk to the counter, Mr. Rantin told him he was going out of turn and a shoving match ensued. During the fight, which employees tried to break up, Mr. Rites was stabbed.

But the lawyers disagreed about who started the fight and who had the knife first.

The scary part is...I work maybe a mile or so from that place...we often get crabcakes from there when we have clients visiting. :hide:

1. Well, I do hear that their crabcakes are the best. Geez...

2. They are quite good.

I've had to drive over there a few times to pick up lunch for the office and/or visiting clients/people from another office. Very big and very filling.

Still...I wouldn't stab someone over them! *whistles* ;)
