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.

He can expect a chilly reception in prison.
This charge seems to be an over-reach. Unless of course, the chili had beans it it. Flying beans are no joke.
The “throwee” must have been a reproductive rights “escort”.
Authorities are treating this like a five-alarm incident.
Chili today, hot tamale.
My Ghost Pepper chili violates several chemical weapons conventions ... I’m not allowed to export the stuff, or post the recipe on the internet. ITAR, you know ...
At least he didn’t attack him with a pointed stick.
How hot was the chili? Is the victim permanently scarred?
Fellony? It depends on the seriousness of the injury. OK, now I will read the entire article. Maybe the answers to these questions is included in the article.
The chili had just been taken out of the microwave when it was thrown on the victim. Had the chili hit exposed skin serious injury was a real possibility.
Chili fresh from the microwave could cause serious harm.
Someone. Well, that narrows it down.
Ilhan Omar's a reporter? LOL, who knew!
Ironside would have thrown the book at him.
Chili was his main meal.
Musta been some nasty azz chili.
If someone were to throw a bowl of steaming hot chili at you, you wouldn’t mind? Forget the chili, how about just a ceramic bowl. You’d be O.K. with that as well?
Really, does every post have to be deadly serious? Are we to become like leftists who see problems behind every joke? Well, maybe so.
Hillbilly napalm.
