Facebook Relationship Status Change Leads to Arrest

A man in Florida was charged with domestic battery for attacking a woman who confronted him when he changed his Facebook relationship status to single.

If you’ve ever questioned the seriousness of Facebook relationship statuses, then this story will solidify the fact they aren’t to be taken lightly.

We’re not sure whether the man, Eric Wilson, was married to the woman he fought with. All that media reports have confirmed is that she was pretty pissed about the status change, and police said the two engaged in quite the shouting match last week, according to Click Orlando.

Obscenities were allegedly exchanged, a TV broken, and police said Wilson even pushed the woman against a brick wall and threatened to shoot her.
