An Iowa man was arrested yesterday for assaulting his pregnant wife with a chicken sandwich, authorities say. 

According to the Des Moines Register, 21-year-old Marvin Tramaine Hill II originally told police that it was his wife who attacked him


Hill said his wife woke him up around 1 p.m. with a McChicken in hand. He admitted to police that he became upset and threw the sandwich at her, then picked up some of the bun, throwing it at her again.


The woman went to the bathroom to clean herself up but Hill followed her and began recording her using his cellphone, which he later shared with police. In the video, police saw the woman knock the phone out of his hands.

Police told the Register that Hill tried to coerce his wife inot knocking the phone out of his hand so she'd appear to be the aggressor. However, the mayonnaise on her shirt and face, and her swollen nose indicated otherwise. Hill was charged with on domestic assault charges and weapons permit was seized.
