WE HAVE THE POLICE REPORT: Attorney Mark Roher Jailed After Allegedly Breaking Plate Over Head Of Wedding Guest In Boca Raton Buffet Line.
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The lawyer arrested following a prime rib incident during a weekend wedding at Boca Lago Country Club allegedly broke a plate over the head of another guest. BocaNewsNow.com has obtained the police report for the Saturday night arrest of attorney Mark Roher. Roher is free on bond. A former Boca Raton-based bankruptcy attorney, he now works from an office in Broward County. He is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
Roher, according to the police report filed by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, was upset that another guest let two young girls get in front of him for the buffet at the prime rib carving station. That’s when witnesses say Roher lost it: “The victim then stated that a white male standing behind him became upset that he was being cut in line and the white male who was later identified as Mark Stuart Roher walked up to him and they began arguing. The victim then stated that he was attempting to remove himself from the situation and he turned around to avoid further contact. The victim then alleged that he was hit over the head with a plate and he was shoved and while off balance the victim was grabbed by the collar by Mark who was holding a plate over his head.”
Witnesses confirmed the story, with one the subject of this part of the police report: “I then spoke to a worker at the event who said in a sworn statement that (they) saw the whole interaction from the start and corroborate the victim’s account about why Mark became upset at being cut in line. The witness then stated that the victim had turned away from Mark in an attempt to ignore him and this is when Mark walked up to him with a plate and hit the victim on the head with the plate. The witness confirmed that the plate had shattered and that Mark then pushed the victim and was holding him by the collar. The witness then stated that surrounding people separated the two individuals, but then Mark attempted to walk back over to the victim. The witness said that (they) heard multiple plates shatter but the only one she saw as the one that Mark used to hit the victim on the head.”
When police spoke to Mark Roher, the lawyer initially lawyered up. “Mark chose to invoke his right to remain silent and wished to speak to an attorney. I then placed Mark into handcuffs which were checked for proper fit and Mark was placed under arrest. Mark then later chose to speak to me once we arrived at District 7 office and stated that he was upset that he was being cut in line and the did get into an argument with the victim. Mark also admitted to making first contact by pushing the victim.”
Wrote the arresting deputy: “I find probable cause that Mark Stuart Roher is in violation of Florida Statute as he did actually and intentionally touch and strike the victim and in doing so used a plate as a weapon.” A court date is pending.
The last thing that Mark Rohar should be on a buffet line. Look at the size of him, does he really need to be so upset that a couple of girls got in front of him? That’s some belly! Smashing a plate on top of somebody’s head is something out of the Three Stooges.
First, “Freedom at Steak” continues your streak of writing great headlines about this story. 2. Not to fat shame the perp, but judging from his girth, this is NOT the guy you want to “cut” the line in front of at a buffet.
Ah, I love it Boca News! This is why I left Boca after 2.5 years. It’s about time someone held these pretentious, self consumed Boca Rudeton’s accountable. The man sacrificed himself with jail time to show these people some respect. I bet if he were black, gay, or female nobody would mention his appearance. But that’s Boca people. Yuck!
