Woman arrested after salad attack

OAK HILL, Fla., Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said they arrested a woman who admitted to dumping a cucumber salad over the head of her boyfriend's one-legged father.

The Volusia County Sheriff's Office said deputies were called to the home of Michael Dyer at about 4 p.m. Tuesday by his son, Daron Dyer, who reported a domestic disturbance, the Orlando Sentinel reported Friday.

Deputies said Alicia Ducharme, 48, Daron Dyer's girlfriend, had argued with Michael Dyer, who accused her of stealing food and money from him, before she dumped the salad on his head.

Michael Dyer's left leg is amputated at the knee and he uses an electric scooter to get around.

Deputies said Ducharme told them she was "guilty" and instructed them to "arrest me," but she resisted when they attempted to handcuff her.

Ducharme said Dyer had punched her in the face before the salad dump, but deputies found no evidence of injuries.

Ducharme was charged with felony counts of abuse of an elderly or disabled person and resisting arrest without violence.
