Woman arrested for pooper scooper attack on boyfriend

A Florida woman hit her live-in boyfriend in the face with a pooper scooper during an early-morning confrontation in their apartment, according to police.



Megan Smith, 27, was arrested for battery at around 5am on Monday when an argument about “living arrangements” with victim Alexander Buck allegedly “turned physical.” Police charge that Smith “picked up a pooper scooper and hit the victim in the face with it multiple times.”

The pooper scooper strikes knocked Buck’s glasses off his face and left him with “multiple abrasions to his left eyebrow and forehead.” Buck, who fled the couple’s Bradenton home and called 911, subsequently declined treatment from an EMS team dispatched to the residence.



During police questioning, Smith reportedly admitted to striking Buck with the scooper, which is used to handle cat litter. “She stated she hit him because the victim would not stop arguing with her,” an investigator noted. Smith was released from the county jail after posting $500 bond. She is scheduled for an October 15 arraignment on the misdemeanor charge.
