Dawn Montesdeoca, 50, of Chicago, used an usually sweet weapon when she assaulted her husband, Arturo Montesdeoca, 56, with cupcakes during an argument that got progressively sticky and ended with a charge of domestic battery.
The fight began as a verbal disagreement around 7:30 p.m. Saturday but soon escalated to a physical altercation.
“The woman struck the husband about the head with her hands and then commenced to hit him with cupcakes,” the Chicago Police Department said in a statement.
When police arrived, they found Arturo Monesdeoca with icing smeared on his head and clothes. Police arrested his wife for misdemeanor domestic battery.
On Sunday morning, Cook County Circuit Judge Adam D. Bourgeois Jr. charged Montesdeoca and released her from jail on a $10,000 bond and ordered electronic monitoring.
Arturo Montesdeoca reportedly told police that his wife had been verbally aggressive, and that he feared for his safety when he called police, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Dawn Montesdeoca is scheduled to appear in Domestic Violence Court Nov. 1.

“The woman struck the husband about the head with her hands” and so the assault charge idiots.

He did the right thing. The article states that she punched him in the head.
It’s not that as a man, he couldn’t protect himself, its that if he tried to protect himself – she’d pick up the phone and accuse him of violence, and he’d be the one in jail.
The only thing you can do with an abusive woman, is call the police and press charges.
he did the right thing.

The story say she hit him with hands and fist.
Now if this guy had defended himself by knocking out an AMERICAN PSYCO woman that think it is her right to hit a man and then be labeled a victim, everybody would be trying to enforce the “MYTH LAW” that says a woman can hit a man but a man can’t hit a woman who is assaulting him.

This sounds like an episode of 2 1/2 Men with Charlie Sheen. The cupcake attack would have been a prelude to makeup sex.

This sounds more like foreplay. If the police had not interrupted then I’ll bet the sex would have been fantastic after the cupcakes were gone . . . .

Had the man hit the psycho woman back I don’t think he would be wrong. Some of these laws to protect against REAL abusers are getting used on the most ignorant fights. There is a difference between a fight and real abuse. I don’t think some guy should be charged for protecting himself nor for this low rent BS that wastes taxpayers money. But now we’ve written laws where if they go to a house they have to arrest them.

Dear all, give the man a break, if this was the other way around, this man would have been in serious trouble, & labeled with ugly stuff. He did the right thing when he called the police & let the women learn from now on how to exercise self control & not use violence when they are angry.
