A Crestview couple was arrested early Tuesday morning after a woman hit her husband in the back of the head with a burrito and he retaliated by stabbing her in the hand with a fork, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office social media post.

The incident happened at the Hare Street home of Suzanne Hurlvert, 51, and Carl Owen Smith, 66. Shortly before midnight, deputies responded to the home after receiving reports of a disturbance.

One critical after officer-involved shooting

Hurlvert was found in the residence "calm and in good spirits," but with a fork protruding from her hand, the post said. The fork’s four tines were so deeply embedded they had to be removed by staff at North Okaloosa Medical Center.

Hurlvert reportedly told deputies she and Smith got into an argument about his desire to go out to the bar to drink every night. During the argument, she hit him in the back of the head with her half-eaten Taco Bell Burrito Supreme, according to the post. She said Smith then stabbed her hand with a fork he was using to eat a Taco Bell pizza and left their home. Portions of the burrito were located on the floor, scattered on the sofa, and on a lamp shade.

Deceased, missing in boat crash identified

An OCSO deputy later located Smith at a Crestview bar. Smith initially said he threw the fork at Hurlvert but did not stab her, the release said. When the deputy showed Smith a photograph of Hurlvert’s hand with the embedded fork, he says Smith began laughing and reported a lengthy history of domestic violence between the pair.

Both Smith and Hurlvert now face felony charges. Smith is charged with aggravated battery – domestic violence related. Hurlvert is charged with domestic violence related battery, second or subsequent offense.
