DES MOINES, Iowa — A man accused of assaulting his pregnant wife with a McDonald’s McChicken sandwich said Wednesday that he is not looking forward to being remembered as "the McDonald’s McChicken bandit dude.”

“I mean, it sucks," Marvin Hill told WHO TV. "Because I’d never want to be famous for that. Nobody wants to be famous for beating their wife. I just hope it goes away."

Hill said he and his wife had been arguing lately. Then she brought him the sandwich, even though he doesn’t like McChicken.

“I just … some of them have like cartilage in them and I don’t like them," he said. "It’s not something that you want to wake up to and then see like, ‘Oh, my wife brought me a McChicken.'”

The argument escalated until, police say, Hill assaulted his wife with a weapon -- the sandwich itself. On the police report, under “tool or weapon used,” an officer actually wrote “McChicken.”

Hill opted to record some of the incident and post the video to the internet. He claimed that he simply tossed the sandwich at his wife.

“Like, even the cops when they was talking to me, they were like ‘They really arrested you for that?’ And I was like ‘yeah. I don’t know what to tell you. That’s the only weapon I had … a McChicken.'”

According to the police report, Mrs. Hill told officers her husband pushed the bun into her face, causing redness on her nose.
