Man Allegedly Assaults Wife, Judge Orders The Couple Eat At Red Lobster

A Florida man received a rather unusual sentence this week in a domestic dispute. Joseph Bray needed to post bond, after he allegedly threw his wife into a couch, held her down by her neck and raised his fist against her. But a judge decided jail or bail or any kind of monetary penalty was too much.

So he gave him an order: to buy his wife a bouquet of flowers, take her to dinner at Red Lobster and out for a night of bowling. Because nothing takes the sting away from your husband flinging you into furniture quite like the $15 Four Course Seafood Feast.

This is according to the Daily Mail, which noted that the alleged dispute arose after Bray failed to acknowledge his wife’s birthday. Since Bray didn’t technically punch is wife (a raised fist is not a punch!) the judge deemed the dispute “a very, very minor incident.”
