Man Arrested for Covering Sleeping Girlfriend in Ketchup

A Florida man was arrested and charged with domestic battery after he reportedly poured ketchup over his sleeping girlfriend, who he believed was having an affair.

Peter Wagman, 37 had been dating his 41-year-old girlfriend, who has not been named, for 11 years. According to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun, they often argued over infidelity and the most recent incident, which took place in the early hours of Sunday, was just one of their many spats.

Investigators were called to the couple's Pinellas Park residence where they found Wagman's girlfriend covered in ketchup. According to the police report, she had fallen asleep in the bedroom but later woke up to find Wagman pouring ketchup over her while yelling "that's what you get b----."

Wagman denied the accusations, but police noticed ketchup smears on his pants. He was promptly arrested and charged with one count of domestic battery, which he has pleaded not guilty. He was released from county jail on Monday and has been ordered to have no contact with his girlfriend.

It was de Scaffa who provided Confidential with a story of how Errol Flynn would allegedly direct amorous couples into a certain bedroom in his house, then, unbeknownst to them, invite friends to watch through a two-way mirror. It was de Scaffa who funneled the story of Robert Mitchum attending a party at Charles Laughton's, taking off his clothes, slathering himself with ketchup, and then declaring it a masquerade party with him dressed as a hamburger. (That was the sanitized version. The unexpurgated tale, related in a 1988 TV documentary, had Mitchum putting the ketchup on his penis and asking Laughton and a producer friend whether the “fags” wanted to eat a hot dog.) Another Confidential source was Ronnie Quillan, a slatternly, orange-haired “party girl,” in the words of the Los Angeles Times. Quillan submitted a story about an affair she claimed to have had 10 years earlier with Desi Arnaz. Harrison loved the piece so much that Quillan then set up Harrison with call girls who had similar dirt on other stars.
