"How to defend yourself from a man armed with a banana"
Largo couple in jail after banana battle, authorities say
By Rita Farlow, Times Staff Writer
LARGO - They weren't exactly using lethal weapons, but a food fight between a boyfriend and girlfriend landed them both in jail early Wednesday, authorities say.

According to Largo police, Keane E. Langel and his girlfriend, Brenda M. Riley , were arguing at their home at 301 N Belcher Road, No. 901, just after midnight when Langel started spitting bananas on Riley and throwing doughnuts at her.

Riley, 49, then "armed herself with a banana," ripped the fruit into two pieces and jammed them into Langel's ears, an arrest report shows.

No injuries were reported, but both were charged with domestic battery.
