Sounds like he was being a real pest.

A Riviera Beach woman was arrested after she allegedly sprayed the father of her two kids in the face with roach spray.

Tiffany Taylor, 31, is facing aggravated battery charges after she temporarily blinded the 43-year-old man during an argument Wednesday afternoon, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Taylor allegedly told police that the verbal argument quickly escalated when the man "fake tossed" a basket of laundry at her and "she decided to spray (the victim) with the roach spray," according to a police report.

Not only did the man get sprayed, he also took a "large glass size mug" to the face as fists flew, police said.

During a court appearance Thursday, Taylor said she was the real victim of the attack and that she's been living in a domestic violence shelter to stay away from the unidentified man.

"I've been running from him for the last six months," Taylor told a Palm Beach County Circuit Court judge.

Taylor was still behind bars Friday on $10,000 bond.
