Men arrested for pizza assaults on their girlfriends

Tales of the Stupid

In separate incidents, two men allegedly assaulted their girlfriends with pizza. A South Carolina man was arrested last Wednesday for domestic violence after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend with a slice. Jimmy Ray Poage, 47, was busted after the 40-year-old victim told sheriff’s deputies that he threw pizza at her in the couple’s Fort Mill home.

The woman, who had pizza sauce on her face, arms, and clothing, also said that Poage grabbed her around the neck and slammed her into a kitchen counter. Poage admitted pelting his girlfriend with pizza, but claimed that she threw it at him first. Charged with domestic violence, Poage was booked in to the county jail, from which he was released on Thursday after posting $2,130 bond.

In a second incident, North Carolina officers arrested Cody Sebastian Parsons, 25, on Sunday after responding to a domestic disturbance call at the home he shares with Sarah McKinney, his 19-year-old girlfriend. According to a Wilkesboro Police Department report, Parsons became angry after slipping on a wet floor. As he cursed at McKinney, Parsons allegedly pelted her with pizza.
 

During questioning, Parsons denied throwing the pizza. However, an officer reported finding “pizza sauce on the back of [McKinney’s] right rib cage.” Additionally, “there were pieces of pizza all over the living room floor as well as on the wall behind the front entrance door to the apartment.” Parsons was charged with assault on a female and booked into the Wilkes County jail on the misdemeanor count.
