Pro-tip: Consult a dictionary before insulting your ex. A New Jersey man was arrested on May 6 after a Union County sheriff’s deputy allegedly saw him spray-paint the word “CHEETER” on the side of his ex’s car. Timothy Lee-Trammell, 36, faces charges for vandalism of property and possession of marijuana, according to a sheriff’s report obtained by The Smoking Gun.

After his arrest, Trammell told authorities he’d done it to get back at his former girlfriend, who was working at a nearby store. Authorities said they discovered a single marijuana joint on his person, hence the drug charge. Trammell may also be hit with narcotics possession charges since he also allegedly had Lortab and Suboxone hidden in a cigarette pack. Both painkillers require a doctor’s prescription to obtain.
LawNewz.com reviewed the Merriam-Webster Dictionary to get to the bottom of this. It turns out that the word “CHEETER was misspelled. It should’ve been written, “cheater.”
