Throw an Onion, go to Jail

A Des Moines man went to jail Wednesday afternoon for allegedly throwing an onion at his wife.

The police report begins: "(The victim) states her husband had been drinking and they got into an argument."James Izzolena, 54, of [redacted], was charged with domestic assault causing injury. Police said he became upset with his wife, Nicole Izzolena, 27, and tossed an onion at her, striking her in the back of the head.

She told police it made her head hurt.

James Izzolena admitted throwing the onion, police said, but he claimed he did not intend to hit her with it.

He was being held without bond pending a court appearance today.

Funny; I have always understood throwing vegetables to be normal behavior in Italian kitchens.
