A fight over milk led to a Florida man being behind bars, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday (September 29).
Deputies said two men got into a verbal argument this past weekend over which milk was better: almond or whole milk.
The argument escalated into a physical altercation. Officials claim the victim was punched in the face by the suspect, who then started chasing him with a pocketknife in hand.
“The victim was then struck with the knife causing a small laceration on his torso,” according to Lee County deputies.
The suspect, Justin Anthony Garcia, 30, was charged with aggravated battery, the Facebook post said.
“Garcia ‘cried over spilled milk’ because the victim wouldn’t agree that his choice of milk was obviously superior,” authorities said.
People who left comments on the Facebook post were having quite the time with this news.
“That's ridiculous. Everyone knows whole milk is best!” Carol Altmiller said.
Al Maxey suggested an alternative to whole or almond milk.
“Dude. Try oat milk, it’s better than both of those,” Maxey said.
Some commentators wondered, even hoped, this situation was a joke or satire.
Meanwhile, some asserted that whole milk was the better drink.
