A Miami-Dade County police officer is facing battery charges after he's accused of throwing a cheeseburger at his wife before throwing a punch.
Officer Andres Perez was arrested yesterday afternoon by Miramar Police after cops were called to the home he shares with his wife.
The pair was allegedly arguing about "financial and infidelity issues."
The wife told police the 34-year-old "stormed into the kitchen in her direction throwing a McDonald's cheeseburger at her," before punching her in the head.
In a statement, Miami-Dade Police Interim Director Stephanie Daniels says, "It is disheartening to learn that one of my officers was arrested for a domestic violence incident, that occurred while he was off duty. Police Officers are held to a higher standard; this type of behavior will not be tolerated. Any actions that may hinder the public’s confidence in law enforcement is unacceptable."
