An Iowa man is in jail today for reportedly wielding a McDonald's McChicken sandwich as a weapon against his pregnant wife.

Marvin Tramaine Hill II, who is 21, confessed to cops that yes, he threw the McDonald's McChicken sandwich at his wife, "because he doesn't like them." The police arrested him for "simple domestic assault," and took him to the Polk County Jail.

From the Des Moines Register:

Des Moines police met with Hill at the couple's home in the 1400 block of 13th Street. Hill told police it was actually his wife who assaulted him.

Hill said his wife woke him up around 1 p.m. with a McChicken in hand. He admitted to police that he became upset and threw the sandwich at her, then picked up some of the bun, throwing it at her again. The woman went to the bathroom to clean herself up but Hill followed her and began recording her using his cellphone, which he later shared with police. In the video, police saw the woman knock the phone out of his hands. Hill's wife had mayonnaise on her shirt and face when officers located her. According to the woman, Hill had forcefully smashed the bun into her face.

How very sad and awful. Christ, what a McAsshole.
