A 40-year-old Moreland Avenue man reported he was drinking early Tuesday morning with a visitor who assaulted him with a can of sweet peas, Athens-Clarke County police said.

The man said his guest, a 36-year-old Bailey Street woman, “gets crazy when drinks run out,” according to police.

When the all the alcohol had been consumed Tuesday, the woman went into the kitchen and returned with the can of vegetables and threw it at his head, police said.

The woman was gone when police responded to the victim’s 4 a.m. 911 call, according to police, who collected the bloodied and dented can of peas as evidence.

The victim was taken by ambulance for treatment at a local hospital.

Police said he indicated that he would seek warrants for the woman’s arrest.
