PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. — Wendy Leigh Messer, a 58-year-old woman from Satsuma, was arrested Monday night after a food-related altercation that included allegations of battery and aggravated assault with a weapon.

She faces charges including battery, aggravated assault, and possession of cocaine following the incident at a residence in Putnam County.

Deputies responded to a report of an altercation at Messer’s home in Satsuma around 9:15 p.m. on Monday. One victim claimed that Messer threw a plate of collard greens at her and threatened to use a knife against her. The second victim reported fear when Messer approached her while holding a cast-iron skillet in a threatening manner.

The first victim stated that during the argument, Messer swung her hand close to her face, narrowly missing her nose, as outlined in the incident report by Deputy Austin Chewning.

When deputies arrested Messer, she reportedly reached for her pocket. Upon inquiry about illegal substances, she mentioned, “Maybe marijuana,” indicating possible drug possession.

A search revealed two glass smoking pipes with residue typically associated with crack cocaine, identified as drug paraphernalia by deputies. Furthermore, they discovered a vial containing a white rock-like substance that tested positive for cocaine.

Messer denied ownership of the jeans she was wearing, suggesting that she had been set up.

Messer was booked into Putnam County Jail at 1:12 a.m. on Tuesday

Looks like a washed-up male heavy metal singer.

LOL. “...denied ownership of the jeans she was wearing, suggesting that she had been set up.”

“Why, these aren’t my jeans? How did they get on me?”

I’m 73 and wouldn’t be seen in a dating relationship with her. Pasty skin, baggy eyes and high is no way to go through life.

Why yes - in fact, she claims she starred in one of the Narnia movies - before she got into meth...

An example of who we are trying to ‘save’ by sinking the crack boats headed north.

Oh no. Not assault and battery with collard greens. That is frightening.

After the mug shot they forced her to brush her hair.

Out fell 5 false driver’s licenses, handcuff keys, a ladies purse gun Beretta 21A Bobcat (.22) and a cat ear blade ring.

58? Thinking that’s a typo. She looks 85.

The incriminating jeans weren’t hers? She had been set up?

Hmm.. The Marion Barry defense?
