Domestic Battery With A Meatloaf? Manatee County Man Arrested On That Very Charge!

Lance David Ziegler’s wife told her husband Wednesday that she was leaving him. Although it was a nice gesture to soften the news of their impending divorce with a home-cooked meatloaf, it turned out to be a big mistake. Ziegler allegedly used said meatloaf to assault his wife and was arrested in Manatee County on charges of domestic battery.

The 39-year-old web designer is alleged to have taken the meatloaf and smashed it into his wife’s face after she gave him the bad news. Zeigler denies this but when Manatee County Sheriff’s officers arrived on the scene the woman had red sauce on her face, although it was apparently just a small amount. Ziegler was denied bond.
