Arrest is a literal nail biter in Port St. Lucie

PORT ST. LUCIE — A flap over spit out nails turned into a physical confrontation and a trip to jail for a 20-year-old woman, according to an arrest affidavit.

Port St. Lucie police arrested Damayra Odette Morales Santos on a battery charge after the April 10 incident on Southeast Jason Avenue.

Morales Santos’s boyfriend told investigators an argument started “regarding him spitting his nails on the floor,” the affidavit states. The boyfriend said he went outside, and Morales Santos followed him and started hitting him.

Some of Morales Santos’s family members, including her mother, were there at the time. The mother tried to calm Morales Santos.

“I can’t with this crazy family,” the boyfriend told Morales Santos and her family.

The boyfriend said after the family heard that statement, they started hitting and kicking his car. He drove off and headed to his aunt’s apartment in Fort Pierce where police were called.

Morales Santos said the argument stemmed from her boyfriend “picking his toe nails and throwing them on the floor.”

It’s not clear whether toe jam was involved.

Morales Santos said he does stuff like that to annoy her. She said he also called her a curse word in Spanish.

“All your family is retarded,” Morales Santos quoted her boyfriend as saying.

Police say Morales Santos hit and bit her boyfriend, and they took her to jail.
