Port St. Lucie Nurse Pleads No Contest in Nacho Cheese Domestic Battery Case
Summary
A Port St. Lucie nurse, 39-year-old Allyson Swan, pleaded no contest this month to a misdemeanor battery charge stemming from a late-night domestic dispute in which she allegedly grabbed a handful of nacho cheese and shoved it down her wife’s leggings. Swan agreed to enroll in a 29-week batterers intervention program—completion of which could lead to dismissal of the charge—and must also pay $875 in court costs. She’s barred from contacting the 40-year-old victim, is prohibited from possessing firearms, ammunition, or non-prescribed controlled substances, and faces the potential dismissal only if she successfully finishes the diversion program.

Despite the absurdity of the protein-rich projectile, the case underscores the seriousness of domestic violence interventions. Let’s all agree that, when in doubt, leave the nacho shenanigans to game-night snacks—and keep them out of the courtroom.
