A Florida man was arrested after he allegedly became enraged during a “heated argument” about Tom Brady and pummeled his friend, police said.
Brian Paulter, 33, was charged with domestic battery over Sunday’s incident, which began around 9:15 p.m., as he and his pals were heading home in St. Petersburg after a day of drinking, according to an arrest affidavit.
“A heated argument regarding Tom Brady began and [Paulter] became enraged,” the court document states.
The fight turned “physical” when they got home — and Paulter allegedly hit his male friend several times in the face, causing visible injuries and a lot of blood, cops said.
Paulter then allegedly became “combative” with his buddy’s wife and shoved her, along with his own wife — who fell and hit her head on the kitchen counter.
His wife was left with a big bruise on her forehead and a “large laceration,” according to the court doc.
Everyone involved, including Paulter, were intoxicated at the time, police said.
Cops noted that there was “a large amount of blood” on the kitchen floor when they got there, though it had mostly been cleaned up.
Paulter was taken into custody and released from Pinellas County Jail on his own recognizance the next day.
It’s not known exactly what about Brady got him so upset.
The 43-year-old quarterback left the New England Patriots, where he won six Super Bowls, in 2019 and last year signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He earned his seventh Super Bowl win when the Florida team beat the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this year.
