A Jacksonville couple was arrested Monday after an argument over food devolved into the use of a stun gun, a screwdriver and fists.

Jacksonville police officers responded to a domestic disturbance call Monday where Tiffany Williams, 19, and her boyfriend, Antonio Boyd, 20, were arguing, according to a police report. Williams tried to eat some of Boyd's food, and Boyd grabbed her and started choking her, the report said.

Williams bit him, forcing him to release her, got her stun gun and threatened to shock him, the report said. Boyd told officers that the battery in the stun gun was dead so Williams stabbed him with a screwdriver, according to reports. Officers said they were unable to find a stab wound.

Williams and Boyd were arrested on charges of first-degree assault on a family or household member. Both were in the Pulaski County jail with no bail set as of Tuesday evening.
