Police have arrested a man in Florida for hitting a woman with a slice of pizza. Several US media reported on this in unison.
The pizza posse goes like this: The alleged couple argued in the shared apartment. The reason: The woman is said to have grabbed a third person's butt. That made Ortelio Lazaro Alfonso (39) so angry that he reached out with the piece. The injured party gave this in an affidavit on paper.
The pizza racket victim then called 911. The Marion County Police Department must have been amazed when officers arrived at the scene
The woman had pizza sauce on her t-shirt and leftover food in her hair and left ear. The force of the blow should not have been insignificant - further evidence was stuck to the kitchen wall and ceiling.
The 39-year-old was arrested immediately and was allowed to cool off in a cell. When Ortelio Lazaro Alfonso finally calmed down, he was released at his request.
Meanwhile, the man with Italian roots claimed to have "only" thrown the piece at his wife. He later corrected his statement but emphasized that he hadn't struck with his hand but only with the pizza.
