An ex-con is back behind bars after allegedly striking his girlfriend in the forehead with a “hard piece of cookie,” Florida cops report.

Wade Smith, 41, was arrested yesterday on a misdemeanor charge following the alleged battery in the couple’s residence in Zephyrhills, a Tampa suburb.

According to a criminal complaint, the victim told cops that Smith “threw a hard piece of cookie and hit her in the forehead.” Smith reportedly “admitted to throwing the cookie at the victim without her consent.”

Police noted that the woman had a red mark on her forehead, but suffered no further injuries.

Smith, locked up in the Pasco County jail in advance of a court appearance today, has a lengthy rap sheet that includes convictions for grand theft, trafficking stolen property, fraud, and weapons possession. He has served three separate terms in state prison (totaling five years in state custody).

Smith is seen in the above mug shots, a pre-tattoo image and a photo taken following Sunday’s collar.
