A Florida man pelted his girlfriend in the “head and face area” with sweet and sour sauce packets Sunday because he was angry she had “bought the wrong food from McDonald’s,” a felony battery complaint said.
Jesus Oscar Ferrer Jr., 30, attacked his girlfriend — with whom he has a child — in the couple’s motel room in Tampa, police said.
A struggle ensued and Ferrer allegedly pinned his girlfriend to the ground. He “placed his palm on her face and pressed her head into the ground using his body weight,” which prompted the woman to rip off part of his beard, the complaint said.
By the time officers arrived, Ferrer had fled the motel, according to the complaint. He was arrested and booked into the Pasco County jail on a charge of felony battery. He made his initial court appearance Monday, according to the Smoking Gun.
Ferrer was charged with battery earlier this year involving the same woman at another motel, the report said. He pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge, was sentenced to time served, and paid $750 in fines and court costs, according to the report.
