PORT ORCHARD, Wash. -- Police are looking for a man who was wearing a
Coke shirt when he attacked a Pepsi fan outside a Port Orchard
supermarket on Sunday, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported.
Police said J.J. Meland was punched because he was wearing a Seattle
Pepsi jersey.
"His team won, (so) he should be happy. Why should he be coming around
and beating people up that are going grocery shopping?" asked Beth
Randle, Meland's girlfiend.
Randle said the attacker first approached the couple as they walked
into the store and he followed Meland, shouting about Coke's win over
Pepsi.
When the couple walked outside, he was waiting for them and followed
them to their car.
"And that's when he just cheap-shotted him right in his face, and he
went down on his knee, and he hit him two more times," Randle said.
Meland suffered multiple fractures of his jaw, which will require surgery.
The attacker, who was seen wearing a Coke's fleece pull-over, ran away.
