A man was arrested in Bloomington, Minn. on Monday for throwing tomatoes at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R).

According to the New York Daily News, Palin was signing copies of her book, "Going Rogue" at the Mall of America, when tomatoes began sailing from a balcony above.

The alleged tosser, Jeremy Paul Olson, missed his target, and instead pelted Bloomington Police Commander Mark Stehik square in the face.

Olson will likely face assault and disorderly conduct charges. No word on what his particular beef was with Palin.
