Florida Man Attacks Girlfriend With Pumpkin, Police Say
A Florida man was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend with a pumpkin.
Nathan Garisto, 26, was arrested on domestic battery charges, after he reportedly threw a winter squash and its innards at his girlfriend at around 2 a.m.
The Largo residents had been cohabiting for a year and a half, according to the police report, when the pair began arguing. The woman asked her boyfriend, who was intoxicated, to leave the property several times. He refused and his girlfriend claims he responded by striking her with a pumpkin, and throwing a tarp with pulp and seeds all over her.
The victim at the scene was "covered in pumpkin seeds and pulp," said police.
Garisto claimed that he didn't mean to hit his girlfriend with the vegetable but instead "threw the pumpkin at the sliding doors," according to a police report.
Garisto has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor assault and has been released on a $1000 bond. He has been ordered to not have contact with the 29-year-old victim and wear an alcohol monitor.
