    Facing arrest for pelting his spouse with his lunch and a metal spoon, a Louisiana man offered police a novel legal take, claiming that,“it was not a crime to throw food on his wife,” according to an arrest report.

    Investigators allege that a recent verbal argument between Willie Cook, 58, and his wife of 34 years turned violent when Cook “began throwing food at her.” Cook also allegedly threw a metal spoon, which hit the victim in the head.

    When cops arrived at the couple’s Monroe home, they “observed food on the master bed, where the victim stated the incident took place.” Additionally, a cop detected “a small lump on the back of the victim’s head.”

    After being read his rights, Cook declared that it was not unlawful to shower one’s spouse with food items. That analysis was rejected by police and Cook was arrested for domestic abuse battery.

    Cook spent two days in custody before posting $500 bond on the misdemeanor charge.

    A Georgia man opened the rear door of a police car, climbed in, and told the cop at the wheel that he wanted a ride home, according to an arrest affidavit.

    Around 10 PM Friday night, Andrew Davison, 31, allegedly entered the vehicle and shut the door while “there was a human being, to wit: Officer K. Thomas, in the conveyance.”

    The conveyance in question was stationed on a St. Petersburg, Florida street and “the cruiser’s emergency lights were flashing,” cops say.

    “The defendant stated that he wanted a ride home,” according to a complaint charging Davison with trespassing in an occupied structure.

    Davison lives in Statesboro, a city about 55 miles from Savannah. Court records do not indicate what Davison was doing in St. Petersburg (or where he was staying), but Officer Kristen Thomas noted that the accused man showed an “indication of alcohol influence.”

    Seen above, Davison bonded out of jail Saturday night after posting $500 on the misdemeanor charge. He has pleaded not guilty.

    A man wearing a t-shirt declaring “I Never Argue” was arrested yesterday when an argument with a female acquaintance turned violent, police report.

    Daniel Murillo, 44, is accused of repeatedly punching the 24-year-old victim in the head while they were seated in a BMW outside an Econo Lodge in Kissimmee, Florida.

    The duo had traveled from Tampa, but were left stranded when their car broke down. After a few days at the hotel, they ran out of money and “began staying in their vehicle while attempting to fix it” and arrange for a tow, according to police.

    While Murillo said he and the victim had “been in a romantic relationship for several months,” the woman, cops say, denied an intimate relationship with him.

    The inability to arrange a AAA tow, the victim told police, “upset Daniel and added to the tension between them, which led to a verbal argument.” Which, investigators charge, progressed to Murillo battering the woman.

    Cops noted that the victim had several bumps on her head which “appeared swollen and recent.”

    Murillo claimed that he “struck [the victim] several times in retaliation for her punching him in the face.” He added that after the woman “threw urine at him from a cup they had inside the car,” he broke the vehicle’s windows.

    Based on “the totality of the circumstances,” officers arrested Murillo for misdemeanor battery. He was booked into the Osceola County jail on $1000 bond in advance of a court appearance this afternoon.

    His “I Never Argue” shirt was replaced with a jail smock.

    A Florida Woman has been charged with domestic battery for allegedly throwing a watermelon at her boyfriend, who luckily dodged the airborne fruit.

    During a “verbal confrontation” Sunday evening, Shelly Hardwick, 51, allegedly “picked up a whole watermelon and threw it in the direction of the victim,” police say.

    The 56-year-old man “quickly moved out of the way” of the incoming watermelon, the weight of which is not disclosed in an arrest affidavit.

    Hardwick told cops she threw the watermelon “only out of frustration,” but denied tossing it in her beau’s direction.

    Upon arrival at the pair’s residence--a motel in Dunedin, a Gulf Coast city--cops noticed “there was watermelon seeds...on the victim’s face and clothing.”

    Hardwick was arrested for domestic battery, a misdemeanor. After spending a night in jail, she was released from custody on her own recognizance.

    A judge has directed Hardwick, who has pleaded not guilty, to have no contact with the victim. Additionally, the judge ordered Hardwick to be outfitted with an ankle bracelet that monitors alcohol consumption.

    When planning to vandalize your former boyfriend’s car with eggs and yellow paint, it is always a good idea to make sure you know the exact make and model of the target vehicle.

    Cops charge that Evelina Fabianski, 18, mistakenly damaged the wrong auto last night on the Deltona, Florida street where her ex resides.  

    By the time officers responded to a 911 call about a “young woman spray-painting a vehicle,” Fabianski had already caused $5000 in damages to an innocent Infiniti sedan (seen above). Along with the words “Jason” and “Devil,” Fabianski allegedly covered the car with various other scribbles.

    Fabianski, who was assisted by a 16-year-old female sidekick, told cops that she was angry at her ex over a $700 debt she was owed, according to an arrest affidavit.

    Cops allege that Fabianski “decided to spray paint what she thought was his vehicle.” In fact, the defaced auto is owned by a man who lives across the street.

    Pictured at right, Fabianski was charged with criminal mischief, contributing to the delinquency of a child, and illegal possession of alcohol. She was also hit with a DUI rap. Her underage cohort--who was found covered in yellow paint--was cited for marijuana possession.

    Commenting on the vandalism, a sheriff’s deputy told Fabianski, “You really need to try harder to try to be sneaky, because you are God awful.” He added, chuckling, “And you guys spray painted the wrong damn car.”

    Fabianski was freed on bond late this afternoon from the county jail. While three of the four counts she faces are misdemeanors, the criminal mischief is a felony since damage to the car exceeded $1000.

    A North Carolina woman is behind bars after assaulting a Family Dollar worker who tried to stop her from escaping with a shopping cart packed with valuable electronic items.

    Sorry, correction: Lakina Stanley, 44, was collared yesterday for attacking the female employee over a purloined $6 pack of toilet paper, police say.

    When Stanley, seen at right, sought to shoplift from the Family Dollar in High Point, worker Deja Pierce, 29, attempted to stop the toilet paper heist.

    Pierce told cops that she tried to “lock and block the door when a female attempted to leave with a pack of toilet paper.” After Stanley “pulled Ms. Pierce’s hair in an attempt to move,” cops reported, “the two fought.”

    Police subsequently found Stanley “circulating the area” near the Family Dollar and arrested her for assault and attempted larceny. She has also been charged with a third misdemeanor for allegedly damaging Pierce’s iPhone during the Monday afternoon scuffle.

    Stanley, who was locked up without bond, was expected to make an initial court appearance today.

    Using a fingerprint lifted off a Goldfish package, cops identified and arrested a man for hitting a female Family Dollar manager in the face with the crackers when she confronted him about stealing from the retailer.

    Cops allege that Michael Gonzalez, who is known as “Gizmo,” struck the 65-year-old victim after walking out of the Florida business with “approximately $50 worth of cleaning supplies and a box of Goldfish crackers.”

    The victim, cops say, approached Gonzalez as he handed the stolen goods to a passenger in a vehicle parked in front of the Gulfport store. Upon being challenged by the woman, Gonzalez, 29, allegedly “hit her in the face with the Goldfish crackers, causing a small cut” under her lip.

    Seen at right, Gonzalez was arrested yesterday for strong arm robbery, a felony, in connection with the September 2024 Goldfish incident. He was in custody Thursday for a prior alleged robbery during which he stole a skateboard from a man who he punched, bit, and stabbed in the face and head.

    Shown surveillance images from Family Dollar (pictured below), Gonzalez--who has several distinctive tattoos, including one between his eyes--reportedly admitted to cops he was the individual in the photos.

    “Throughout the interview,” police noted, Gonzalez “stated that this was petty and that he should just get time served.” A judge apparently disagreed with that analysis, setting Gonzalez’s bond at $30,000 for the two pending felony robbery cases.

    Locked up in the county jail, Gonzalez is familiar with such accommodations. His rap sheet includes convictions for theft; trespass; robbery; cocaine possession; disorderly conduct; and attempted armed robbery. In addition to various jail sentences, Gonzalez has served nearly two years in state prison, records show.

    With Valentine’s Day approaching, is there anything more romantic than having sex with your partner in broad daylight in front of a Wendy’s as motorists pass by on a busy highway?

    According to police, Demetria Wilson, 53, and Tymario Merrell, 29, were caught in the act Saturday afternoon in Clearwater, Florida.

    Officer Parker Moody reported spotting Wilson and Merrell laying on the ground “behind the bus stop in view of the busy highway.” The bus stop is in front of a Wendy’s restaurant and adjacent to U.S. Highway 19.

    Wilson, unencumbered by pants, was on her right side “with her buttocks facing” her partner. “Merrell’s pants were pulled down” and he was in a “turgid” state as he “repetitively” engaged with Wilson.

    The couple was busted and charged with performing an unnatural and lascivious act. Wilson and Merrell, both of whom have lengthy rap sheets, remain locked up in lieu of, respectively, $150 and $500 bond.

    They have each pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge.

    Police are scrambling to identify who poached about 100,000 organic eggs from a Pennsylvania protein producer.

    Cops estimated the “current” street value of the eggs at $40,000 (though that figure could increase based on skyrocketing prices).

    Investigators say Pete & Gerry’s Organic Eggs was victimized Saturday evening when one of its distribution trailers was burglarized. The eggs were swiped from outside the firm’s headquarters in Greencastle, a borough in the south-central part of the state.

    Pennsylvania State Police officials have asked the public to contact them with any information about the theft. Or who might be trying to fence 8333 dozen eggs.

    A 7-Eleven customer used a banana to batter a store clerk, according to Florida police.

    Caltaeviya Turner, 22, got into a “verbal altercation” with the 30-year-old female worker and the women exchanged “derogatory comments towards each other,” according to a police report.

    At one point, Turner “became irate” and “picked up a banana from the cashier counter and threw the banana at the victim’s face.”

    The airborne fruit struck the employee “on the cheek bone and left a minor abrasion,” investigators noted. The banana was not seized as evidence.

    Seen at right, Turner was arrested Thursday for battery and booked into the county jail on the misdemeanor count. Police records list Turner’s employer as Baby Dolls, a Clearwater gentleman’s club located four miles from the 7-Eleven outlet.

    Turner is being held without bond for violating probation in connection with a grand theft conviction in a neighboring county (Turner stole about $800 worth of merchandise from a Walmart store). Regarding that felony case, Turner has previously been cited for failing a pretrial intervention program, as well as for not performing 75 hours of community service or paying court fines.

    Turner was also recently arrested for resisting and giving cops a false name when they responded to a trespass call at Baby Dolls. She was free on $1000 bond in that case when she was collared for the alleged banana battery.

    Even in Key West, Florida, where some louche behavior is tolerated, you are going to get arrested for having sex at 4:20 AM on a sidewalk adjacent to the main road through town.

    Early Tuesday morning, cops were driving on a two-lane stretch of U.S. Route 1 when they spotted a woman “bent over” in front of a man who was “thrusting his hips back and forth” while the couple was situated in front of a pet grooming business.

    “The two subjects continued intercourse until I activated my emergency lights,” reported Officer Bryce Sonnichsen.

    In the glow of the cruiser’s cherry top, William Jeannot, 41, “put his penis back inside of his pants,” while Diane Clawson, 38, “put down her dress.” Clawson reportedly “was disheveled with her bodysuit undone.”

    Jeannot and Clawson were subsequently arrested for committing lascivious acts with another person in a public place. The duo was booked into the Monroe County jail on the misdemeanor charge and later released.

    While court and police records list Jeannot’s address as a Whitehall, Michigan residence, he recently began a job with a Key West yacht company, according to a post on his Facebook page. Clawson, who works as a server in Key West, lives in nearby Stock Island and is a licensed esthetician, or “facial specialist.”

    Jeannot and Clawson are scheduled for a January 31 arraignment.

    A drug counselor at a New York State rehab facility sold crack cocaine on “multiple occasions” to undercover agents, according to police who arrested the alleged dealer on felony narcotics charges.

    Acting on tips from the public, investigators began probing Alvin Lewis, 54, and subsequently identified him as a “narcotic and dangerous drug dealer” operating in Dutchess County towns about 80 miles north of New York City.

    On “multiple occasions,” Lewis sold crack to agents with the local prosecutor’s Drug Task Force, according to officials.

    While conducting surveillance of Lewis, police determined that he worked overnight hours as a counselor at Arms Acres, an in-patient rehabilitation clinic.

    Pictured above, Lewis was busted Tuesday evening while driving a few miles from his Wappingers Falls residence. Subsequent searches of his home and vehicles yielded “crack cocaine packaged and ready for sale,” investigators say.

    Lewis, who is being held without bail, is expected to face additional charges.

    An online search of credentialing records maintained by New York’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports returned no records under Lewis’s name.

    In today’s installment of the FAFO Chronicles:

    Adding injury to insult, a Louisiana man was walloped in the face after he shouted racial slurs at a group of Black victims and declared, “I hate n*ggers,” according to a police report.

    Officers arrested Clint Ferguson, 51, following a confrontation Sunday night in the parking lot of the Shoe Show in Monroe. 

    According to the victims, “who are black,” they were sitting in their car when Ferguson pulled up next to them, exited his ride, and began shouting racial slurs at the driver, a probable cause statement alleges.

    After declaring that, “I hate n*ggers,” Ferguson returned to his car and tried to drive away. His path, however, was blocked by the driver, who had called 911 and told Ferguson, “You are going to wait for the police.”

    Ferguson, cops allege, “drove around the victim and ran over the victim’s foot.” The victim “then punched Ferguson through the open driver window as Ferguson drove away.”

    Seen above with a fresh shiner, Ferguson later returned to the parking lot, but refused police orders to exit his car. Three officers eventually pulled Ferguson from the vehicle and handcuffed him. He was charged with aggravated battery, a felony, and misdemeanor hate crimes and resisting an officer counts.

    After Ferguson was treated at a local hospital “for his eye and nose where the victim hit him,” he was booked into the county jail, where he remains locked up in lieu of $50,000 bond.
