What started as a spat between siblings in Macon escalated far more quickly than anyone could have expected.

According to The Telegraph, a 17-year-old girl was charged after her passion for pizza led her to chase her 13-year-old brother with a hammer, officials said.

On June 1, a Bibb County sheriff’s deputy went to a house on Bloomfield Road after receiving a call from the girl’s mother, the newspaper reported.

The teen’s mother told the deputy that the girl had hit her bother “with a glass baking dish during a fight over a pizza in the kitchen.”

After that, the girl allegedly chased her brother into the front yard with a hammer, according to The Telegraph.

The boy wasn’t seriously injured. His sister was charged with simple battery.
