DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Police in Iowa said a man accused of assault told officers he chucked his McDonald's McChicken sandwich at his pregnant wife "because he doesn't like them."

Des Moines police said officers responded to the couple's home about 2:55 p.m. Tuesday and Marvin Tramaine Hill II, 21, told them his 21-year-old wife had woken him up about 1 p.m. and handed him the McChicken sandwich.

Hill told officers the sandwich made him angry "because he doesn't like them" and police said he admitted to throwing the sandwich at his wife before picking up pieces of the bun from the floor and throwing them at the woman a second time.

Hill's wife told officers he had smashed the bun into her face forcefully. She had mayonnaise on her shirt and face when officers arrived, police said. They said her nose also appeared swollen.

The suspect showed officers a cellphone video he recorded while his wife was cleaning herself up in the restroom. The video showed Hill's wife knocking the phone from his hands. Hill accused his wife of assault, but police said they determined Hill was intentionally trying to get his wife to swat the phone from his hands to make her appear aggressive.
