Political Fisticuffs - Florida Style!

They certainly take their politics seriously in the Sunshine State. A day ahead of the first Presidential debates between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, this senior citizen in Hollywood decided to slap his wife in the face and push her to the ground (allegedly) after getting into an argument "about Obama and Romney," according to the police report. Now, if only the actual candidates could get this fired up. Seem like Florida has a history of domestic violence sparked by politics - this case reminds us of this story earlier this year. 

"I fell in the grass and maybe hit my face," the woman told officers, according to the report. Officers noted in the report that she had redness and swelling on the left side of her face.  

She refused to fill out a complaint affidavit but police arrested Schwartz anyway, the report said. He was being held on $1,000 bond Wednesday, and it was unknown whether he has an attorney.
