Oxford Food Historian Arrested For Jaywalking
One of my favorite food historians, author of Near A Thousand Tables: A History of Food Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, was recently arrested for jaywalking in Atlanta.
This guy is an Oxford don. His wife is a beautiful Englishwoman, and they live in a classy Mayfair flat filled with books from floor to ceiling. Their son was the Comte de Provence in Sofia Coppola's recent Marie Antoinette.
The slightly built historian said the officer kicked his legs under him and pinned him to the ground, causing his glasses to fall off. Two other officers assisted in holding him down, said Fernandez-Armesto, who said he suffered a gash on his forehead and a bruise on his wrist as he attempted to break his fall.
"It was the most violence I've ever experienced in my life," said Fernandez-Armesto. "And I was mugged once while at Oxford."
Harsh!!
