A man in Florida is facing a felony charge for allegedly knocking down his 75-year-old wife by pelting her with a package of Oreo cookies during an argument about the coffee maker.
On the morning of November 18, a 70-year-old man and his wife, 75, were in their home in Sorrento, Florida, when an argument broke out between the couple. The coffee machine did not have any water in it, and the man allegedly began to yell at his wife. During the verbal battle, the man allegedly picked up a package of Oreo cookies and threw it. The package reportedly struck his wife in the chest, and she fell on the ground.
The following morning, the woman told her daughter about the incident, and her daughter told her to call the police since the man has reportedly been violent before. The woman went to her daughter’s house and notified the authorities.
