2 Women Face Year in Jail for Movie Popcorn Dispute

Two women face up to a year in jail after a jury convicted them of charges stemming from their attempt to bring popcorn bought at one movie theater into another.

Authorities said the women refused to leave the popcorn outside the theater, so the manager called police. Officers claimed that the women used vulgar language and bit, hit and kicked them.

They were convicted of trespassing, resisting and obstructing a police officer and battery on a police officer, all misdemeanors.
