A California man who allegedly mixed barbecue and burglary has been set free.

Antonio Vasquez, 21, was released due to a lack of evidence after allegedly breaking into a house, rubbing spices in the face of a man inside and then hitting another with an eight-inch sausage. He was thought to have stolen $900 in the process.

Vasquez was later caught hiding in a field nearby wearing only a T-shirt, boxers and socks, after leaving his wallet (with ID) at the house of the men he assaulted. Authorities, however, say there doesn't seem to be enough evidence to file charges, though they might if more is found.

Strangely, the event is reminiscent of another recent sausage attack. In July, Floridian Gregory Allen Praeger threw a three-pound kielbasa at his mother during a fight and was charged with assault. While the two events aren't connected, we sense a burgeoning trend. One more processed meat-related beating and we're ready to declare a national epidemic.

Think that's a strange use for meat? Check out these bizarre bacon products ...

The Most Bizarre Bacon Products Ever

    Bacon Bra
    This bra isn't quite as sexy as it should be. Maybe there can be too much of a good thing.

    Bacon Pop
    Walking around town sucking on a cold slice of bacon is as uncouth as it is delicious. (Trust us, we know.) But stick a bacon pop in your mouth and you get the same savory flavor without offending polite society.

    Bacon Spray
    If you have an addiction to bacon the way Elvis did, there's only one cure: the "Bacon Spray" inhaler.

    Bacon Martini
    After years of fruity feminization, it's time the martini became a man's drink once again, with the addition of pig skin (or some other part thereof).

    Bacon Breath Mints
    If you want to impress the ladies (or at least their chihuahuas), a mouthful of bacon breath mints will definitely do the trick.

    Bacon Cup
    Move over tortilla bowl, there's a new piece of edible flatware on the block. It won't be long until Lil Jon exchanges his diamond-encrusted pimp cup for this decadently succulent receptacle: the bacon-encrusted bacon cup.

    Bacon Air Freshener
    We're not sure about this one: If you want your place to smell of bacon (and who wouldn't?), why not just fry up a slab and get the added bonus of a yummy snack? That being said, this product would be good for messing with vegetarians or hungry dieters.

    Bacon Salt
    Like traditional salt, bacon salt brings out the flavor in a dish. Unlike traditional salt, the flavor will always be bacon.

    Bacon Ice Cream
    The only way this could be less kosher is if it was soaked in blood.

    Gummy Bacon
    We're not sure if this tastes like bacon (like gummy cola tastes like cola), or tastes like gummy (like gummy worms taste like gummy). We're hoping it tastes like bacon.
