A man was arrested at the Mall of America yesterday after he accidentally hit a police officer with a tomato intended for Sarah Palin.

Jeremy Olson allegedly intended to hit Palin with the two tomatoes, who was there signing books for her “Going Rogue” book tour.

Instead, he hit Bloomington Commander Mark Stehlik and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct. He could also face charges for assaulting a police officer.
