A Florida woman is facing criminal charges for allegedly cutting a man’s face open with a Pringles can, authorities said.

The incident began when the victim, identified as Martin Milburn of Florida, said a man allegedly approached him at the 7-Eleven and made a comment about his vehicle, according to the arrest affidavit.

Milburn said he asked Serdahl if she was with the man.

She “eventually struck him in the eye with a Pringles chip can and took off running,” the affidavit alleges.

Milburn was left with a significant cut on his right eyebrow and below his eye, which were bleeding, the deputy at the scene said.

“The cut looked significant and appeared that it would leave a scar and permanent disfigurement,” the deputy said.

Milburn identified her as the suspect and the deputy read her her Miranda rights, the affidavit alleges.

When the deputy asked her what had happened, she said that Miburn was “saying rude things to her and being disrespectful,” the affidavit alleges.

She said Milburn “at one point called her a c—,” it alleges.

Milburn told the deputy that he was buying a drink and all he asked her was “if she knew the guy outside,” it alleges.

A witness told the deputy, “all the guy was doing was informing me of another male customer that was laying down on the side of the building,” according to the affidavit. “The female called the guy a b—- and whacked him with the Pringles which literally went flying down one of the aisles. The male customer’s eyebrow was split open. She then left on foot.”

It is unclear whether Serdahl has retained an attorney who can speak on her behalf.
