He’ll have to face the scales of justice.
A Florida man will go before a judge next month for conking his boyfriend in the noggin with a novelty singing fish, according to a report.
Police on Sunday afternoon responded to the Sebastian home of Gregory Carney and Larry Timmerman after receiving a report of a disturbance, The Smoking Gun reported, citing an arrest affidavit.
The two men were squabbling all day, and Carney decided to “aggravate” his boyfriend by playing with the Big Mouth Billy Bass fish — which belts out tunes such as “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” and “I Will Survive,” Timmerman told cops.
He took the bait hook line and sinker, got fed up, and tossed the bass in the trash, according to the report.
Carney fished out the bass, threw it at Timmerman, and struck him in the head, the police report says.
Carney told police that he didn’t intend to hit Timmerman, his domestic partner for the past 17 years, the police report said.
Timmerman declined medical attention at the scene and Carney was arrested on a charge of battery domestic violence.
Carney was released on $500 bond and is scheduled for a May 15th court appearance, according to The Smoking Gun.
