CLEARWATER, FL—Move over, spaghetti sauce assaults and burrito battles—Florida has a new culinary crime to add to its hall of shame. A 21-year-old woman, Nakhia Davis, has officially been charged with battery after launching a plate of ravioli at her sister like a saucy missile.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, the incident went down like this: Davis’ sister came home with food (because apparently, that’s a crime in Florida). When she refused to share, Davis allegedly “got mad”—a scientific term for “Florida Woman activated”—and decided the only logical response was to turn that ravioli into a projectile.
Deputies arrived to find the victim still wearing the evidence—sauce stains, because nothing says “domestic dispute” like wearing your opponent’s pasta like a badge of honor.
This isn’t even the first time Florida has seen food used as a weapon. Just last week, a woman threw a burrito at her husband over a Taco Bell vs. McDonald’s birthday meal debate, and another Florida Man assaulted his mom with spaghetti sauce before hiding in the bushes like a marinara-covered raccoon.
Davis was arrested, booked, and has since been released—probably to go home and finish that ravioli in peace.
Moral of the story? If you bring food into a Florida home, be prepared to share… or dodge.
