Man Arrested for Putting Out Cigarette with Fire Extinguisher

Tampa, Florida -- Frederick Crevoiserat asked his brother to put out his cigarette. The brother refused, so Crevoiserat sprayed him with a fire extinguisher, authorities said.

"He wouldn't put out the cigarette," Crevoiserat told deputies, according to his arrest report, "so I put it out for him."

When Pasco County deputies arrived to the apartment on Grand Boulevard in New Port Richey Thursday night, they heard the victim screaming and saw his arm still covered in white from the extinguisher.

Crevoiserat, 39, was arrested on charges of domestic battery and resisting an officer without violence, because he allegedly struggled when being handcuffed, according to the report. He is being held without bail at the county jail in Land O'Lakes.
