CRESTVIEW, Fla. (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — A Florida couple has been arrested after deputies say a woman hit her husband with a burrito before he retaliated by stabbing her hand with a fork.

The Okalossa County Sheriff's Office tells media outlets in a statement that deputies responded Tuesday to a home, where they found 51-year-old Suzanne Hurlvert with a fork protruding from her hand. It was so deeply embedded that hospital staff had to remove it.

Hurlvert told deputies that she and 66-year-old Carl Smith were arguing when she hit him in his head with her half-eaten Taco Bell Burrito Supreme. Hurlvert says Smith then stabbed her hand. Deputies found him at a bar.

Smith is charged with aggravated battery - domestic violence related. Hurlvert is charged with domestic violence related battery, second or subsequent offense. It's unclear if they have attorneys.

While the incident wasn't burrito related, a Texas woman was charged with aggravated assault after police say she stabbed her common law husband because he wouldn't get out of bed. Authorities say 39-year-old Melinda Hinojosa took the action after hitting the man on the head with a pot and punching him three times the face.
