Sebastiano Russo was jailed after deputies say he threw the small fruit at the 71-year-old woman during an argument about his girlfriend. He was charged with aggravated battery on a person over the age of 65 and is being held without bail while awaiting his first appearance in front of a judge.
According to a charging affidavit, Russo and his ex-wife Claire Russo live in the same West Holly Drive home, near Orange City. He came to the house drunk Tuesday night and assaulted Claire Russo with the grape. A deputy responded to the fruit-flinging incident at 10:48 p.m. Sebastiano Russo also threatened to kill the woman and burn down the house, the charging document states.
A witness told the investigating deputy that Sebastiano Russo sat at a table and began slamming his hand on it saying, "This is my house," the report says. Sebastiano Russo, who comes to the home intoxicated several times a week, told his ex-wife he was bringing his girlfriend to the house. When Claire Russo told him, "No, not in my house," the ex-husband threatened to kill her and then attacked her with the grape, the witness told the sheriff deputy.

Wow... His ex-wife must be really frail if she can be taken out by a single grape to the face.
