A Florida attorney Mark Roher, 52, is accused of assaulting a man with a dinner plate at a wedding reception, following a dispute over line-cutting at the Boca Lago Country Club in Boca Raton.

According to Palm Beach County Jail records, the altercation escalated from a verbal confrontation to a violent incident, resulting in Roher's arrest. The clash unfolded on January 18, with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office detailing the events that transpired at the prime rib carving station during the wedding reception.

Roher allegedly became incensed when two young girls purportedly cut in front of him at the buffet line. Enraged by this breach of etiquette, Roher confronted the father of one of the girls, setting off a chain of events that culminated in a physical altercation.

Eye-witnesses and the victim provided their accounts of the altercation, painting a picture of escalating tensions and sudden violence. The victim recounted how Roher approached him, engaged in a heated argument, and then struck him on the head with a dinner plate without warning. The situation quickly spiraled into chaos as other wedding guests became involved in the melee.
