OSCEOLA COUNTY, Florida – In the Dark Ages, it may have been perfectly acceptable to punish your child with a sword. In modern-day Florida, it turns out that’s quite illegal.
Juan Javier Lovine was arrested after allegedly stabbing his adult daughter with a souvenir sword purchased at Medieval Times, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
According to police, Lovine and his daughter became involved in a domestic dispute that escalated into violence after he allegedly pushed her against a wall. Cops say the woman punched her father in the face “in self-defense,” drawing blood.
