A Kentucky woman was charged with assault after she allegedly squirted breast milk into the face of a deputy, sparking online debate Sunday in the local media.
Toni Tramel, 31, was arrested Thursday for public intoxication in Owensboro, WYMT-TV reported, but it is what she did next which has attracted headlines.
As Tramel changed into an inmate uniform, she squirted a stream of breast milk into the face of the female deputy watching over her.
A press release from the Daviess County, Kentucky, Detention Center, said that after the deputy decontaminated herself from the "bio-hazard", Tramel was charged with third degree assault.
While the public drunkenness was merely a misdemeanor offense, the assault is a felony charge and a US$10,000 bond was set.
Reports of the case have sparked debates about whether using breast milk as a weapon should constitute a felony assault case, with many readers likening it to an accused person spitting on an officer.
Also sparking feedback has been the use of the term "bio-hazard" to describe breast milk.

HIV-infected mothers are strongly discouraged from breast-feeding their infants, because of the transmission risk.
There is no report or any evidence that she is HIV, so sensational and emotional assumptions have no place here.
Milking it for all it’s worth..
What a boob!
Maybe you should read something on the subject such as the CDC for starters.
Kissing doesn’t transmit, nor does casual contact with other body fluids.
Sorry, thems the facts.
BTW, I used to be an EMT and had to deal with worse than lactation in the face.
It’s still playing with risks, no matter how insignificant. I do not wish others to increase the risks I face. I have enough to handle, as is.
Then why are HIV-positive mothers discouraged from breast-feeding their infants?
(Sorry for the rude outburst earlier, but you clearly started it.)
I too, remember feeding the cats in the barn before hooking the milking machines up.
This is just plain NASTY.
I *LOL* about the Kentucky Woman song.....
no offense to Neil of course.
When did we start distinguishing between woman and lady ??
I thought we were supposed to be BOTH.
*SIGH*
“Anyone have any idea what caliber the stream was...Whole, 2% or non-fat?”
Definitely 100% fat, with bacon grease to boot
Breast feeding and a squirt to the face are not anything alike.
Once upon a time some of us thought that HIV could be spread by casual contact, mosquitos, and other unknown means.
Some think it can be spread by a squirt of breast milk to the face but that isn’t the case.
Most people still think that men can get it from sex with women but those cases are extremely, extremely, extremely rare. So rare as to be statistically nothing.
The reality is that you have faced greater dangers all your life from HBV than HIV but were not even aware of it.
And what risks do you face that are so sensational down there in Oz?
GOT MILK?
I take it gunner wasn’t involved?
No wonder he’s a fag!!!
UM....OK...PING!!
This thread is udderly ridiculous.
So you figure it is statistically safe to have the bodily fluids of strangers sprayed on you?
You must have interesting weekends.
Be prepared for the “it does a body good” defense.
“Simple case of tit for tat.”
Where shall I send the bill for a new keyboard?
That reminds me of an old joke. A guy entered a cafe and ordered a cup of coffee. The waitress returned with the coffee and asked if he wanted sugar. He said yes. She was not wearing an apron, so she instead pulled a packet of sugar from inside her blouse. Next she asked “cream?”. He declined.
