JULY 3--A pregnant Florida woman was arrested for domestic battery after pelting her brother with frosted cupcakes during a 1:45 AM argument Saturday in the family’s Vero Beach residence, police report. 
 
 According to cops, Latonya Daugherty, 24, was quarreling with her 30-year-old sibling when the “verbal argument escalated.” Daugherty (seen above) allegedly “picked up frosted cup cakes and threw them at” Edddie Yaddow. 
 
 The cupcakes, an arrest affidavit notes, struck Yaddow in the arm and chest. 
 
 Yaddow, investigators say, retaliated by removing frosting off his arms and “wiping it in her hair.” Yaddow, pictured at right, also allegedly kicked Daugherty in the stomach. 
 
 In an interview with police, Daugherty’s mother described her daughter as the “initial primary aggressor as she threw cupcakes.” But Yaddow’s reaction, cops concluded, “exceeded a reasonable response in self defense,” prompting officers to arrest him for aggravated battery. 
 
 Daugherty--who told police that she was about four to six weeks pregnant--was released from jail Saturday evening after posting $1000 bond. Yaddow remains locked up in lieu of $10,000 bond on the felony battery charge. 
 
 While police took note of the blue frosting in Daugherty’s hair, the cupcakes themselves were not collected as evidence. (1 page) 

 - A pregnant woman and her brother were arrested and face charges after an alleged cupcake fight that happened over the weekend in Florida. 
 
 Police were called to a Vero Beach home around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday for a disturbance report. 
 
 Indian River County sheriff's officers say 24-year-old Latanya Daugherty, who is over a month pregnant, and her brother, 30-year-old Eddie Robert Yaddow, were arguing over who should discipline Daugherty’s child. 
 
 According to police documents, Daugherty then allegedly threw cupcakes at her brother, striking him in the arm. Yaddow allegedly retaliated by wiping the blue frosting from the cupcakes in Daugherty’s hair and then kicking her in the stomach. Police say the two then threw random items, like cans of food, at each other. 
 
 The documents say Daugherty was the initial aggressor when she allegedly threw the cupcakes at her brother. She was charged with misdemeanor battery domestic violence and was released on bond. 
 
 Police say Yaddow, who they say knew of his sister’s pregnancy, assumed the aggressor role when he allegedly kicked her in the stomach. He was charged with felony aggravated battery and remained in jail on a $10,000 bond. 
 
 No injuries were reported by either sibling. Daugherty is expected in court later this month and Yaddow is expected in court in August.
– Sweets turned sour early last Saturday in Florida when a pregnant woman and her brother were arrested following a cupcake fight, Fox 5 reports. Police say 24-year-old Latanya Daugherty and 30-year-old Eddie Yaddow were arguing about who should punish her child when Daugherty threw cupcakes at her brother. Yaddow then allegedly wiped cupcake frosting in his sister's hair and kicked her in the stomach. The siblings were arrested after police were called to the home, and Daugherty was charged with misdemeanor battery domestic violence. Yaddow was charged with felony aggravated battery. According to the Smoking Gun, police determined Yaddow's reaction to being hit with cupcakes “exceeded a reasonable response in self defense" because he knew his sister was four to six weeks pregnant when he kicked her in the stomach.
