DESTIN — A fight over dog poop led to the arrest of a Destin man.

The 42-year-old became angry that the dog had pooped on the floor and ordered his girlfriend of four years to clean it up.

She scooped it up and put it in a bag. Then she showed it to her boyfriend, who was eating rice and beans on the couch.

“Is this what you wanted me to do, pick up the dog (expletive)?” she asked, according to his Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.

He responded by throwing the plate at her. The food hit her in the neck, while the fork dinged her face, leaving a read mark by her nose.

The woman’s son was in the room at the time and confirmed her account.

The man was charged with battery.
