Police were called to a domestic disturbance in Columbia Township after a woman allegedly hit her boyfriend with a ham sandwich. Go head, take a minute and read that sentence again.
The comestible combat began after 47-year-old Corrine Gattarello told Robert McDaniel she wanted to break up because he drank too much. That’s when the delicious deli meats started flying. Gatterello alleges McDaniel hit her on the back of the head, which he denies, telling cops that he didn’t “hit his girlfriend physically, but mentally.” OK… She then hurled the sandwich in question.
The media accounts of the pork projectile really make this story, though. Witness the beautiful sentences constructed and absurd details relayed by reporters and police in an effort to give you, the reader, a clear picture of the incident.
