A Sunday night spaghetti dinner turned violent when a 41-year-old man threw the pasta at his mother, striking the victim in the head with the starchy weapon and leaving her splattered with sauce, police allege.

Investigators say Anthony Fiacco last evening had a “verbal argument with the victim that turned physical” in the Florida home where the victim, 61, resides with the accused.

“The spaghetti made contact with the victim who had spaghetti sauce in her hair,” cops reported.

Seen at right, Fiacco allegedly fled the home when officers arrived. After being spotted hiding behind a bush in the backyard, Fiacco sought to run away, but was quickly corralled by police.

Fiacco was charged with domestic battery for the spaghetti incident, as well as resisting an officer. He was booked into the county jail on the misdemeanor counts. 

No weapon was seized by police and it is unclear how long the Sunday gravy had been simmering.

The 5’ 6”, 250-pound Fiacco appeared in court this morning, where a judge ordered him to have no contact with his mother. Fiacco will be allowed a one-time visit--in the presence of law enforcement--to retrieve personal belongings from his St. Petersburg residence.

Fiacco, who also uses the surname “Edlin,” has prior convictions for battery, trespass, violating probation, and throwing a deadly missile into a building. The “missile” was a Heineken bottle he chucked at an apartment window after being asked to leave a party (flying glass hit several individuals).
