Wife, 60, charged with battery for pelting husband with cupcakes

A Chicago woman was charged with misdemeanor domestic battery on Sunday after police said she threw cupcakes at her husband and hit him over the head.

Dawn Montesdeoca, 60, is accused of tossing the treats at her 56-year-old husband in their home Saturday. The fight started with a verbal quarrel, but escalated until Montesdeoca began hitting her husband over the head, police said.



After that, she reached for the box of desserts and tossed them at her husband's head and body, he told police. Several of the confections apparently hit their mark, as the man's head and shirt were smudged with icing when officers arrived, according to a police report.

Her husband told police he was scared for his safety, although the Chicago Tribune reported he has been arrested three times since 2003 on battery or domestic battery charges. All of the charges were eventually dropped.
