A 19-year-old Florida woman has been arrested, accused of squirting her boyfriend with a water pistol.

Giovanna Borge is charged "for squirting water on (her boyfriend) to antagonize and agitate him against his wishes."

According to a recently released arrest warrant, Borge was arrested on Sept. 27 following an escalating incident between Borge and her boyfriend.

Police were called their apartment in response to domestic violence.

It's not likely the arresting officer had ever written a report quite like this one:

I spoke first to the female half, Giovanna Borge, who was outside the apartment. She was in an upset/excited state, and was experiencing rapid shallow breathing. Giovanna was able to tell me that her boyfriend of about a year, (boyfriend) said something to her she did not like. Giovanna then took a water pistol and squirted him with water. (boyfriend) then responded by dumping a container of water on her. She continued that he then hit her with a pillow and there was mutual shoving with her ending up in the tub in the bathroom. Giovanna had no visible injuries but stated she has been injured in domestics by (boyfriend) in the past which were unreported to Law Enforcement. I spoke to (boyfriend) who said that he was in his room when Giovanna came in and started screaming at him, then squirted him with a water pistol. He then poured water on her and also corroborated the mutual shoving. (boyfriend) was not injured. I spoke also to the three witnesses who did not see the altercation, but heard it as they were all in the apartment. (Witness) and (witness) were all consistent in that (boyfriend) was quiet in the bedroom. They thought he was asleep but he was actually playing Xbox quietly. They all agreed that unprovoked, Giovanna started screaming at him. They then heard scuffling and banging noises. They all heard (boyfriend) yelling “get off me, get off of me” which led them to believe Giovanna was aggressing on. Based upon statements from both suspect and victim, and the three witnesses, investigation revealed that Giovanna was the PRIMARY AGGRESSOR in the incident today.

I request a UCI responded to take photographs. Ofc. C. Durbin responded to photograph. Also, Giovanna was continuing to have difficulty breathing and appeared to be worsening. I requested Rescue and provided Giovanna with a paper bag to breathe into to help stabilize her hyperventilation. Rescue responded, attended to Giovanna who refused transport, and departed.

I placed Giovanna under arrest for Simple Battery/Domestic Violence under F.S. 784.03 for squirting water on (boyfriend) to antagonize and agitate him against his wishes. I handcuffed Giovanna in front to make it easier for her to breathe, checked for fit, and double-locked the handcuffs. I transported her to St Lucie Co Jail without incident.

Jury trial! Let’s start voir dire right now....

This woman needs to be committed for her own protection. If she had been injured by (boyfriend) before, then WHY is he still her boyfriend?

Stand your ground laws don’t apply to water pistols.

[GilesB]

Yeah - she’s guilty.

[nickcarraway]

But stand your mud laws do.

Giovanna Borge is charged "for squirting water on (her boyfriend) to antagonize and agitate him against his wishes."

What kind of BULLSHIT charge is that?!

Maybe, it was the WATER's fault? How about some testy words? Would that still be 'against his wishes'?? How about some flipping off (or *gasp* the double bird)?

If I were her, I'd take it all the way to court just to waste the friggin' $$ and time of the jack-wagons that put her there in the 1st place.

No wonder the boyfriend is miffed. Waterpistoling is the way you discipline a dog. But spray bottles works a little better, especially on mist. Stops them from yapping at you. Does the boyfriend yap?

Did she add tobacco and cayenne pepper to the water at least?

[Rusty0604]

tobacco=tobacco

Good grief. There's an annual outdoor country music concert near here (big names, excellent program) where part of the "audience participation" is kids running up and down the spaces between the lawn chairs, squirting the patrons with water pistols. Given that the concert is always in July and the day is always warm, the spray is welcome. I recall one time my daughter simply stood up, turned around slowly, and let them spray to their heart's content.

Because women like that usually start the violence and force a violent response.
In fact the higher percentage of violence comes from women. Especially against children.

But it worked SO WELL to train the cat not to claw the couch arms!

I immediately thought of this,

“Take a look at my girlfriend, she’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend, never seem to get a lot”

Supertramp - “Breakfast in America”

If she was hot, would this even have been a story?

[GilesB]

You’re right - NOBODY calls the cops on a hot babe because she shoots him with a squirt gun.

[prof.h.mandingo]

“The female half”, did the cop split them like a Siamese twin? I have never heard of Siamese twins with male and female halves.
