Why wasn't this one of the Clue weapons?
If your neighbor asks to borrow your cell phone charger in the Sunnydale Housing Projects, you better let him, or else you might get stabbed.

That very thing happened Tuesday night, according to Captain Louis Cassanego, commanding officer of the Ingleside Station.

"I know it appears trivial," said Cassanego. "But sometimes serious crimes erupt over minor issues."

Around 10 p.m., one guy asked another to borrow his cell phone charger. But for one reason or another, the owner of the charger refused. An argument over it spilled outside and turned violent when one man whipped out a knife, and the other picked up a stick.

Surprisingly, the stick-wielder temporarily prevailed by striking the knife-wielder, stealing his weapon, and running inside. But the knife-less assailant ran in after him, then picked up another knife out of the sink.

He slashed the stick-man's arm and wrist, and that's when the stick man chose a new weapon -- a glass cake cover. He slammed the knife guy in the face with it, causing facial lacerations and a quick retreat.

Numerous officers deployed to the scene found the knife man in his home. He was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. The phone, it seems, was never charged.
