Competitive Eater Takeru Kobayashi Cleared of All Charges

Posted on August 6, 2010 by John

Back on July 4th, 6-time hot dog eating champion Takeru Kobayashi was arrested and charged with obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest, trespassing and disorderly conduct. On Thursday, the court cleared Kobayashi of all charges so long as he stays out of trouble for six months. As soon as this happened, I thought that this had to be staged to generate more publicity. Let’s hope Kobayashi can compete next year. For now, he’s off to Canada for a pizza eating competition.
