PORTLAND, Conn., July 22 (UPI) -- The husband of a Connecticut woman ticketed for allegedly throwing a milkshake into another car said he thinks the other driver should also have been ticketed.

Carlos Vega of Portland said he was riding in the Chevrolet Suburban while his wife, Yajira, was driving Tuesday and she threw a milkshake into the window of a car that cut her off in traffic, the Hartford Courant reported Thursday.

"I don't think what we did was right, I understand that. It truly was a mistake, but why didn't they give (the other driver) a ticket for cutting us off?" Vega said.

Yajira Vega was issued a ticket for throwing objects at a motor vehicle, which bears a $375 fine. Police said the other driver was not ticketed because she denied cutting the other vehicle off and there was no way to prove the accusation.
