A Florida woman has been arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in which she attacked her wife with a plate of cheap nachos.
Allison Swan, a 39-year-old nurse from Port St. Lucy, Florida, was taken into custody for misdemeanor battery after police were sent to the couple’s home for welfare checks on May 3.
According to a police report, Smoking gunpolice were warned the situation by a third-party caller, a friend of Swan’s wife, who claimed the 40-year-old victim could contact her around 3am and heard Swan attack her wife via telephone.
Swann told the officer who responded that his wife was drunk, denying that anything physical was happening.
She claims that her wife is in a drunken rage and forces the swan to barricade herself in the couple’s bedroom. She also claimed that her wife had punched several holes in the wall during the argument, but she was not physical again.
However, Swan’s wife told an officer who responded that she was making cheesy nachos in the kitchen while Swan was in the living room playing video games.
Swann commented on his weight, telling the victim that he shouldn’t eat that late. The two women began to discuss. At that point, Swann walked over to her spouse, grabbed a handful of cheesy nachos and shoved them into the back of the victim’s leggings.
When Swann’s wife enters the bedroom to change her pants, Swann is said to have pushed her up against the wall, grabbed her with her hair, and threw her onto the floor before dragging her into the bedroom. Upon entering, Swann secured the victim to the ground and was said to have pushed his fingers against either side of his wife’s mouth to “hook him like a fish.”
Swann then grabbed the woman’s head and is said to have slammed it on the floor multiple times. At one point, Swann also threw water on his wife. The victim allegedly made several comments during the assault, telling her that Swan was in charge and that the victim was not acting.
She retreated after Swann realized that his wife had carefully dialed her number before the physical attack and contacted a friend, then the woman had heard them.
When the officers asked Swann’s wife to show her the clothes she was wearing, they found black leggings on the inside back, matching the wife’s story, which looked like nacho cheese. The woman’s hair and leggings were damp, consistent with her story of water being thrown at her.
Officers noted that there were two cheese stains on the wall outside the bedroom, and there was a small hole in the wall above it. The victim told officers that it was the result of her elbow hitting the wall after the swan pushed her up against the wall.
After being asked to show her position on suspicion of attack, the responding officer noted that when she undressed her leggings, the butt section of her wife was lined up, and that her elbows were lined up where the holes were. One officer also noticed a hematoma on the right side of the victim’s forehead and a major wound on the right forearm.
The victim appeared “slightly drunk,” but officials pointed out that she didn’t smell alcohol.
Swann’s wife claimed she had taken Xanax shortly before the incident, leading to that changed state.
Police again questioned Swann, who claimed that no physical violence had occurred again. She insisted that her wife was angry because she didn’t want to watch TV together.
She claimed that at one point she threw a plate of nachos, rolled over and covered herself with nacho cheese. She again claimed that she barricaded herself in the couple’s bedroom while her wife drilled a hole in the wall. She couldn’t explain how the victim maintained the injuries she had or how the cheese was inside her leggings.

Police said in the report that the plate holding the nachos was ceramic and completely intact. This is a fact that did not match Swan’s explanation in the case. They discovered what could have caused the swan to commit a battery, causing physical harm, arrested her and put her in the St. Lucie County Jail.
Court records show Swan pleaded not guilty to charging the battery and has since been released on bonds.
She was next scheduled to appear in court on July 2nd, demanding a ju trial.
