ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — A St. Petersburg man was arrested Saturday morning on a felony battery charge after throwing chili at someone, according to deputies.
A report from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said that George Neil Armstrong, 50, got into an argument with someone Friday morning that began to escalate.
The affidavit said that Armstrong poked the victim in the face before he took a bowl of chili out of the microwave and threw it on him.
Deputies said Armstrong fled the scene of the incident before law enforcement arrived. However, he was arrested the following morning.

Unless there’s a lot more to this than chili in the face I’d vote not guilty.

Depends on the temperature of the “fresh outta the microwave chili”.
More lawfare.
Chili With Beans should be at least a Felony. Chili Without Beans, should only be a misdemeanor.
So I was at this chili cookoff in Texas one time and some of that stuff will leave scars through the entire length of the alimentary canal.
