A man in Fort Pierce, Florida, apparently had exhausted all other options the morning of May 7 to get his girlfriend to stop yelling at him.

So as the couple argued, the man, identified as 41-year-old Israel Rosado, decided to cut himself with a kitchen knife.

“This was the only way to get that stupid (woman) to stop yelling at me!” he told police following the 2:17 AM incident.

The girlfriend likely won’t be able to yell at Rosado, of the 500 block of Mayflower Lane, in the near future because police learned about his open violation of probation warrant and took him to the St. Lucie County jail, according to an arrest affidavit released May 8.

Investigators couldn’t find the knife that Rosado used, but noted “blood throughout the apartment and outside of the apartment, near the front door.” Rosado had small lacerations on his lower right leg.

He was taken to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center & Heart Institute for treatment, and then to jail for booking.
