Man Assaults His Girlfriend For Complaining About His Testicle Scratching

 Ronald Howard, a 30-year-old Florida man, was jailed Monday after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend because she complained about his untimely ball scratching.

According to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to a Bradenton residence around 3 p.m. after receiving a domestic violence complaint.

When deputies arrived on the scene, they spoke with Shalamar Petrarca, who stated that she had been shoved by Howard after she complained to him about his ill-timed testicle scratching.

Petrarca stated that she told Howard that it was rude and disgusting for him to scratch his testicles when she was about to eat dinner.

In retaliation, Howard yelled at the woman and then pushed her into the kitchen. The woman reportedly sustained an injury to her ankle during the assault.

Howard told deputies that his girlfriend punched him in the face for "scratching his balls," however deputies were unable to find an injury on his face to support his claim.

Howard was booked into the Manatee County Jail and charged with simple battery.
