A Maryville man was arrested Friday after he reportedly attacked his girlfriend with a taco for having a profile on an online dating site.
Steven Erwin Stokes, 47, Ridgeview Road, Maryville, was arrested by Blount County Sheriff’s Office deputies on charges of domestic assault, aggravated domestic assault, failure to appear to address a misdemeanor charge and contempt of court.
He was being held in lieu of bonds totaling $7,000 pending hearings at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and 9 a.m. Thursday in Blount County General Sessions Court.
Deputies responded to the situation around 9 p.m. on Friday, after Stokes’ girlfriend, a 46-year-old woman, reported that he had become enraged over her online dating profile and attacked both her and her nephew, who also lives at the Ridgeview residence.
According to the Sheriff’s Office report, Stokes had already hit the woman in the face and had began tearing up the house when she locked him out around 7:30 p.m. while he was in the driveway yelling at her nephew. When Stokes returned from a neighbor’s house a few hours later, and the arguing resumed, he told the woman that if she called the police, he would “burn the house down.” However, when the woman reached for the phone, Stokes grabbed a taco from the kitchen counter, “pressed the taco into her face and smeared it all around,” before pushing her down the hallway.
The woman’s nephew then called a neighbor for help, which further angered Stokes, and caused him to strangle the nephew. The woman unsuccessfully attempted to break up the fight and retrieved the neighbors, who took Stokes back to their house again.
When deputies arrived, they observed severe redness on the nephew’s neck, a cut on the inside of the woman’s lip and taco remnants on her face and shirt, as well as cake all over the kitchen floor, which the woman said Stokes had thrown in his rage.
Stokes, who has lived with the woman and her nephew since May 2016, advised that an argument regarding a dating site had occurred, but never turned physical. Stokes also told deputies that he has “extreme anger problems” that he’s trying to deal with, according to the report.
I usually just threaten them with my taco.
She’s gonna have shell shock.
What if the title had said “Woman attacks boyfriend with Taco”?

Mexico’s fault.
She was pregnant with a taco?
At least he didn’t use a burrito.
“sheriffs office, drop the taco and step away from the woman.”

Most of the women I have been around don’t like tacos smeared in their face.
Except for this one time at band camp...
Soft or hard?
I’m more interested in her taco...
Great, now liberals will want a taco ban.
If Tacos are outlawed, only outlaws will have tacos.
Shouldn't that be 'banditos'?
Last week you had a pizza fetish.
I see you got over that.
Beef or Chicken?
“Is that a taco in your pants, or are you just glad to see me?”
This is in Tennessee, near Knoxville
