Rodriguez admitted to authorities that he was angry and that he broke the windshield, but argued that he threw the sandwich at her because he didn't want to hit her.Sun Sentinel: Man arrested for hitting girlfriend with sandwich (November 18, 2008) WPBF: Man Accused Of Hitting Girlfriend In Face With Sandwich (November 18, 2008)
