A Florida woman was so incensed by the way her boyfriend presented their meat and potato dinner on Wednesday that she spat at him and punched him in the face, a police report shows.

Kimberly Jean Carroll, 55, was arrested on July 24 following the confrontation with her partner of five years at his home in Ellenton and charged with domestic battery.

When officers arrived at the residence, the victim reportedly told them the bust-up had ensued because Carroll objected to the way he ‘cut the meat and potatoes for their dinner’.

What started as a verbal altercation quickly turned physical, according to police, when Carroll ‘struck the victim with a closed fist’ once to the face.

It’s alleged that the 55-year-old then proceeded to spit in the direction of the victim on multiple occasions.

According to police documents, the victim declined medical treatment and had no visible injuries.

He also expressed to officers that he didn’t want to press charges against his 'live-in girlfriend', refused to provide a detailed statement and asked for her not to be arrested.

Regardless, Carroll was arrested on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge and booked into the county jail, making an initial court appearance on Thursday afternoon.

It was not specified by police what Carroll particularly disliked about the presentation of her evening meal.
