As the old saying goes, “if momma ain't happy, then no one's gonna be happy.”

In this case, last Sunday night, during a heated verbal argument and under intoxication, one Florida woman claimed she was “tired of his behavior and their arguing,” grabbed a raw steak and chucked it at her partner of 20 years.

The criminal complaint states the defendant, Rochelle Wright of Tarpon Springs, Fla., “became angry at the victim while he was sitting in his chair over cooking dinner.”

In response to the situation, Wright reached for a raw steak as her “weapon” of choice.

Wright missed her target as the steak struck the left arm rest of the chair and the wall directly behind the victim, the complaint explains.

In this case, the “weapon” was not confiscated by police.

The incident for the woman turned out to be a big ‘missed-steak’ as she spent the night in the county jail on a misdemeanor charge of domestic assault.
