A late-night argument over food spiraled into violence and drug charges in rural North Florida, ending with a 58-year-old woman behind bars.

According to deputies, Wendy Leigh Messer of Satsuma was arrested Monday night following a heated altercation at her home that included allegations of battery, aggravated assault with a weapon, and cocaine possession.

Deputies responded to a disturbance call around 9:15 p.m. at Messer’s residence in Satsuma, a small community in Putnam County. Two victims told responding officers that what began as a verbal dispute quickly escalated into a physical confrontation involving flying food and kitchen weapons.

One victim reported that Messer threw a plate of collard greens at her and threatened to use a knife. A second victim said she feared for her safety when Messer approached her holding a cast-iron skillet in what she described as a threatening manner.

According to an incident report written by Deputy Austin Chewning, the first victim also said Messer swung her hand close to her face during the argument, narrowly missing her nose.

When deputies placed Messer under arrest, she reportedly reached toward her pocket. Asked whether she had anything illegal on her, Messer responded, “Maybe marijuana,” according to the report.

A subsequent search turned up two glass smoking pipes containing residue consistent with crack cocaine, which deputies identified as drug paraphernalia. Officers also discovered a small vial holding a white, rock-like substance that field-tested positive for cocaine.

Messer denied ownership of the jeans she was wearing at the time of her arrest, suggesting she had been set up.

She was booked into Putnam County Jail at 1:12 a.m. Tuesday and faces multiple charges stemming from the incident.

The case remains under investigation.
