Florida sandwich attack was no baloney

Police said a Port St. Lucie, Florida man was arrested for throwing a sandwich at his girlfriend. It was the second food attack that sent a man to jail in about a month.

According to a police report released Monday, the 20-year-old man threw the sandwich at his girlfriend's face during an argument about auto insurance and then hit her head with his fist.

The man admitted to throwing the food but not hitting her. He was arrested Friday and faces a battery charge.

Last month, another man was arrested on a battery charge for hitting his girlfriend with a sandwich, knocking her glasses off and nearly causing a traffic crash.

Police reports did not say what type of sandwich was used in the attack but there was no baloney in the story.
