Kyle Jamison Jones, 30, was taken to the Martin County Jail after the incident.
A Florida man was arrested this month after allegedly slapping his sleeping girlfriend in the face with a cheeseburger and then kicking her downstairs.
A motive for the alleged attack was not immediately clear. Jones admitted to a verbal dispute but “refused to say anything about becoming physical with the victim,” police said. Officers noted the victim was “visibly upset” and covered with bits of food when they arrived at the home. According to Hussein & Webber, a law firm in Florida, simple battery is considered to be a first degree misdemeanor in the state. Upon conviction, it carries a potential sentence of one year in jail or 12 months probation, alongside a $1,000 fine. Felony battery, in comparison, is a third degree felony in Florida which carries maximum penalties of up to 5 years in prison, it said.
