SOUTH OGDEN, Utah — A trip to a marijuana dispensary turned violent after a fight broke out in the drive-though lane, resulting in an arrest for lewdness and assault by South Ogden police.

The suspect, 48-year-old Ronald Price, had completed his transaction at The Flower Shop on Wall Avenue and pulled forward, but stopped in the lane.

Video footage showed that he then hit the hood of the car behind him and returned to his car, but approached the car again and exposed himself, according to the arrest report.

Thinking he may be reaching for a gun, the victim pulled forward and lightly bumped Price with his car, at which point Price became irate, swearing that he was going to kill him as he opened the victim's car door and began punching him in the face, police said.

Flower Shop employees broke up the fight after Price's wife allegedly put the victim in a headlock and tried to pull him from the car.

Price faces assault and lewdness charges. He was booked and released with conditions including making sure he shows up to future court proceedings.
