Texas Woman Burned during Pecan Pie Fight

(CBS/ AP)  A pecan pie fight on Thanksgiving led to a woman suffering burns and her brother facing assault allegations.

Galveston County sheriff's Capt. Barry Cook says the 23-year-old woman suffered first- and second-degree burns to her neck, face and chest on Thursday in Santa Fe.

Cook told The Associated Press that the brother is expected to face an aggravated assault charge. An affidavit has been filed but a warrant had yet to be issued Tuesday.

The woman contacted the sheriff's office, asking that the charge be dismissed but the warrant remains valid, Cook told the Galveston County Daily News.

Some pecan pie heated in a microwave allegedly was thrown on her. She required medical attention.

Cook says deputies were called after the woman and her brother apparently argued over their respective children. Cook says the woman told her sibling that their parents were too old to be watching both sets of children at the same time.

doesn't matter what it was over. Do you really believe he heated the pie to throw at her? Or did he heat the pie and then throw it out of anger instead of eating it? Wow, they will press charges for anything unless its someone that deserves it! LOL

The perp really needed to heed a good lesson from The Three Stooges...

Cream pies are the best in any pie fight, although berry pies can be used to great advantage as well.

Woo !! Woo !!! Wooo !!!!

It is also arguable that one of the siblings is too young to have children.

I live in the South. I've never seen meringue on a pecan pie. What a joke. This being in Texes, it is more likely a Cow Patty Pie - ROFL&PMP

Is that a real picture of a Pecan Pie up there? It looks like meringue on a chocolate cake or brownie pie something or other.

You can tell that this happened in Texas over Thanksgiving because the weapon was a pecan pie. If it had happened over Thanksgiving in Ohio the weapon of choice would have been a pumpkin pie.
