The man acknowledged there had been a disagreement and claimed it had started when the female came outside drunk and threw the chicken breasts all over the driveway.
The officer went inside to find her and she said the man had hit her in the head with a pair of tongs he was using to cook the chicken. She said they both began yelling at each other and she threw the chicken. The situation got physical again after that, she said. She completed a written statement and the tongs were taken as evidence.
Another officer arrived on scene and collected a written statement from one of witnesses who had called to report the incident. That witness said he had heard the argument and saw the man smack the woman before they both went inside.
The man was arrested and taken to the police department. He was given an opportunity to complete a written statement but reportedly refused saying he would probably implicate himself.
He was charged with domestic violence and taken to the Butler County Jail.
