A man is now charged after a deadly stabbing that started with a fight over a bag of Cheetos.

The fight happened Tuesday night in downtown St. Louis, according to police.

David L. Scott, 49, was charged Wednesday with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. Authorities said Scott stabbed 42-year-old Roger Wilkes once in the chest with a knife.

Wilkes died at a hospital.

Police had said they believed both men were homeless.

The stabbing took place near the Convention Center MetroLink station.

Cincinnatus - 9/7/2012 6:11 AM And apparently the cheeto addict had no self respect. What self respecting idiot is going to get into a huff over a cheeto? I guess when you are homeless that alone begs the question of self respect.

Better yet Lee62 how about Cheetos for every meal. Cheeto omlette for breakfast, Cheeto sandwich for lunch, and Cheeto stew for dinner. He would be so sick of Cheetos.

It's not really about Cheetos. It's about respect. I'm not suggesting that's any excuse for a stabbing, though.

I am sure I have said at one point in my life that I would kill for some Cheetos but didn't mean it literally.

They will have to put a warning label on the Cheetos now "Cheetos can be dangerous for your health". Do not come between a man and his Cheetos it could be deadly.
