A man has been charged with causing criminal damage to two hamburgers worth £5 after an alleged doorstep dispute with a fast food firm. Stephen Morgan, 31, of South Wales, underwent a police grilling after he was arrested and taken from his home in handcuffs at the weekend.
He is due appear at Swansea Magistrates' Court, in south Wales, next Monday.
Morgan was at home in Culfor Road, Loughor, near Swansea, with partner Michelle Owen on Saturday evening.
The couple, who have two children, planned to stay in and watch ITV1's The X Factor with other family members.
A dispute is alleged to have started after an order of food with a local pizza parlour arrived minus two hamburgers.
Mr Morgan claims it was agreed the group should wait for the rest of the order, he told the South Wales Evening Post.
A dispute is alleged to have started with a delivery man who came to the house later, and £15 compensation was eventually paid out, he claims.
Police visited the address later that evening and arrested Mr Morgan on suspicion of robbery. He was taken to Swansea Central police station where he was questioned about the incident and held overnight.
A South Wales Police spokesman confirmed that a 31-year-old man was arrested on Saturday evening and has since been charged with causing criminal damage to food valued at £5.

Yet another example of the farcical abuse of the Criminal Justice System and complete and utter waste of police and judicial resources. C'mon Mr Johnson get it sorted for crying out loud!!! Ah well, at least the Home Office auditors will be pleased they got another detection.
