WINTER HAVEN, FL - A Florida man wound up in jail after he allegedly attacked three women with a 4-foot sword and a peanut butter sandwich, according to the Lakeland Ledger .

Deputies said it all began when Mark Christopher Miller heard a commotion outside his mobile home on U.S. 92 West.

He reportedly went outside, armed with a sword, and proceeded to threaten the three women, one of them pregnant.

At one point, he poked the sword at the pregnant woman's stomach and smeared another with the sandwich before deputies arrived an arrested him, according to the Ledger .

While being taken to the Polk County Jail, Miller, 50, ripped out some padding inside the patrol car with his teeth.

A man was arrested after deputies say he stabbed someone for feeding his dog peanut butter.

Detectives arrested John William Vargo, 35, in Port Charlotte.

According to deputies, Vargo said he threw an empty plastic peanut butter container at the victim and the victim punched him in the head.

Deputies say the victim got a baseball bat from his house and came out yelling at Vargo.

Deputies say Vargo and his girlfriend then walked down the street and called the CCSO at 3:26 a.m. to report a man chased him with a baseball bat.

Vargo told deputies he and his girlfriend were at a friend's house in the 21300 block of Gladis Avenue where the victim rents a room.

I would smear peanut butter all over people and swing swords around (i.e. go nuts) if I lived where it was 110 all day long, too! Oh, and the hurricanes.

I live in Winter Haven. It's only 92 right now. I don't think it topped 98 yesterday. Hurricanes don't usually bother us much here in the middle of the state....except in 2004; that was weird...three of them hit us in one summer

Oh, and FWIW, I put peanut butter, applesauce and blueberries in a flour tortilla yesterday. Yummy

[edit - high of 96 yesterday: http://www.weather.com/weather/monthly/33884]

FTFY.

If the guy was arrested for smearing a peanut butter sandwich, well I guess he better be thankful he didn't use a ham and cheese instead. No telling what would have happened.

Here's your exception....I don't do drugs....I don't even drink alcohol. (Yes, I do realize that I just admitted that I'm crazy enough to make a hood out of a water heater WHILE SOBER.) I will, however, wrap almost any food in a tortilla
