All joking aside, how is this considered "Third-offense criminal domestic violence"? I mean, I get the third-offense part but is this really criminal domestic violence? Squeezing cheese in someone's hair? And if that's the case why isn't she charged with vandalism for squeezing it on his truck? Or perhaps she was, who knows? It just seems so...frivolous. Of course we can't know the whole story and obviously the guy sounds like a Class A jerk. Maybe I am overthinking the cheese-squeezing incident.
It's considered domestic violence because it is a male squeezing cheese on a female. If a female squeezed cheese on a male, it would be considered self-defence because we all know that women are not ever violent unless provoked beyond human tolerance by a male.
