A Florida man ended up behind bars last weekend after he was busted for allegedly roughing up an 11-year-old girl who he thought pelted his home with eggs.
The crazy incident occurred Saturday afternoon at a Tampa, FL, apartment complex and was partly captured on dramatic video recorded by a witness.
Check it out ... the suspect, Marius Mutu, is seen pinning the girl to the ground outside the building as she screams and cries for help. The girl swears to god she didn't do anything wrong, but her words fall on deaf ears. Mutu won't let her go.
10:55 AM PT -- Ely Murray-Quick, the man seen in the viral back-and-forth video with South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace, posted a statement on Facebook Monday about the incident, directed at Mace herself. He says, in part ...
"If Nancy Mace invested even half as much effort into crafting actual policy or advocating for the people of South Carolina as she does posting about my outfits and spinning dramatics about a two-second public interaction, maybe — just maybe — her district wouldn’t be clinging to the bottom rung of national rankings in education, infrastructure, and healthcare access. But alas, we get performative outrage, keyboard crusades, and a woman who clings to victimhood like it’s the last microphone on Fox News."
Congresswoman Nancy Mace isn’t backing down -- in fact, she’s doubling down on an argument that went viral this weekend, even as the internet’s still split on who really started the drama.
Mace kicked off the week swinging, posting on X -- "Good morning to everyone except men who wear daisy dukes" -- a clear jab at the guy she clashed with in that viral clip, who she flamed not just for his tiny short-shorts, but for browsing in a makeup store too.
Nancy seemed to be on a bit of a press tour, hyping up her upcoming 77 WABC radio interview on X -- teasing she'd be talking "daisy dukes and lunatics who get in the faces of conservatives." She posted on her personal account, not her official one. Should be noted ... the man in question was not wearing denim cut-offs, just saying.

Once the other party is back on his feet, he demands his phone be handed over, which seems to infuriate DeMar ... who lunges at him.
John Rocker's still pissed he's not fighting Patrick Mahomes Sr. this month, and he's taking his anger out on those who he believes scuttled the bout -- Patrick Mahomes II ... and the Kansas City quarterback's "loser wife."
Rocker, of course, was supposed to step in the ring with the elder Mahomes later Friday as part of Dave Portnoy's "Rough N Rowdy" promotion ... but back in late February, the Barstool Sports honcho announced the scrap was off.

During a challenge where the group was forced to reveal hard truths about one another in order to open treasure chests ... Chris Hughes -- a reality television star and pro soccer player -- stared down Mickey, who didn't appreciate the look one bit.
12:53 PM PT -- The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office confirmed in a news release Friday the use-of-force incident is under investigation. Officials said deputies were responding to multiple reports of a man walking in traffic and making obscene gestures at drivers Thursday night. The suspect, identified as Le Chau, allegedly began fighting with the female deputy who was first to arrive and who tried to handcuff the man. The fight went to the ground, and a second arriving deputy helped detain the suspect ... who allegedly ignored requests to stop resisting and fighting, resulting in the strikes to his head.
Chau was handcuffed and then treated at a hospital. When he was later booked for resisting an officer with force or violence, battery on a police officer, and disturbing the peace by intoxication, officials say, he again "initiated a physical confrontation" with deputies, resulting in more charges. The Sheriff's Office says Chau has been arrested more than 20 times since 2014, with multiple convictions for resisting an officer.

"It's another opportunity for me to prove either I am who I say I am or I'm not. Do I still have it? There's a lot of questions that need to get answered. And I think the answers are going to be emphatic and the answers are going to be in my favor."
