Senior charged with felony domestic battery after allegedly throwing Oreos at wife over empty coffee maker

A Florida man was arrested and reportedly admitted to throwing at his wife a bag of Oreo cookies that knocked her over.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office arrested John Sandoval, a 70-year-old male who was allegedly upset at his wife about their coffee maker not having any water in it, deputies said, according to Fox 35 Orlando.

The married couple of 40 years were sitting at the table when they began arguing about the coffee maker, a report allegedly described. Sandoval then became "aggressive" and threw an entire package of Oreo cookies that hit his wife in the chest, which caused her to fall.

A standard Oreo resealable package is 14.3 ounces, which equates to about .89 pounds.

The husband also allegedly put his hands around his wife's throat while she was on the floor but reportedly did not restrict her airways.

Police did not see any "obvious injuries" on the woman either, according to the police affidavit.

The event went unreported after taking place on a Saturday until the woman's daughter encouraged her to call police the next day in order to press charges.

Sandoval's wife is at least 65 years old, per his subsequent charge of felony domestic battery on a person 65 years or older. He was then arrested and taken to Lake County Jail.

The local Fox outlet reported that Sandoval had a prior conviction for misdemeanor simple battery in 2005.

According to OutKick, Sandoval later spoke with deputies and reportedly admitted to throwing the package of Oreos at wife. He allegedly added that he thought he had thrown the cookies at the woman's head, not her chest, but wasn't completely sure as to what had happened.

He also noted, according to the police affidavit, that he had no recollection of putting his hands around his wife's throat.
