The man was identified as 33-year-old Jeremy Paul Olson from St. Paul, but police believe goes by the name Jeremiah Wobbe.
He was arrested and booked on assault and disorderly conduct charges, police said. They also said he had two more tomatoes on him!
Sarah was at the mall signing copies of her book, Going Rogue, for four hours. She didn't address the crowd, but did speak individually to the owners of the books she signed.
