FORT PIERCE — A woman accused of hitting a man in the head with a bag of frozen biscuits got in a jam with Fort Pierce police, according to an arrest affidavit.
The 25-year-old woman was arrested Aug. 29 on a battery charge after the alleged carbohydrate caper in the 1300 block of North 12th Street in Fort Pierce.
The man identified as the victim told investigators “he was struck in the head with frozen biscuits.”
He said the woman got upset and came outside where he was sitting. The alleged biscuit beatdown happened as the woman “swung the bag of frozen biscuits and struck his forehead.”
A biscuit is a type of soft bread often raised with baking powder or soda. Myriad recipes exist for sweet and savory varieties.
Some enjoy spreading butter and jelly on biscuits, while others prefer them with sausage and/or eggs. A traditional southern breakfast is “biscuits and gravy,” which features biscuits covered with gravy.
Somewhat parenthetically, the 1988 debut album from the rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot featured the song “Buttermilk Biscuits (Keep On Square Dancin’).”
Meanwhile, the alleged frozen biscuits wielding woman said she struck the victim on accident. She said she was trying to hit someone else.
She said the victim’s wife kicked her in the side, but investigators saw no signs of injury.
