Anthony Fennick, 20, is facing four counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, criminal mischief and loitering.

Deputies in the area were investigating a report of loud banging noises near Fennick's residence around 10:30 p.m. when the food started to fly.

Initially, Fennick approached the deputies and asked why they were there. After giving him an explanation, the deputies said Fennick thanked them and returned to his home.

A short time later, half a potato was thrown at the deputies, landing behind one of their cruisers. Then an egg flew into the scene, hitting a cruiser and nearly hitting two of the deputies.

They searched for the food assailant without luck but found three more eggs, a potato and a piece of fruit that had been thrown.

When deputies continued their search, they reported finding Fennick nearby with an egg in his front pocket.

He was being held in lieu of a $7,000 bond.
