Persad and her husband got into an altercation because she bought him Taco Bell and McDonald's for his birthday, police said.
The affidavit mentions two potential food items that were allegedly thrown at him – a burrito and a soft shell taco. It's unclear if both were thrown, but the report states that a burrito was still on the man's face when police arrived at the scene. He was not injured.
According to police, Persad said she threw a burrito at her husband because he threw a bag at her, which he denied.
She was booked into the Pinellas County jail and was released later that day.
