MEDFORD, Ore. — A Medford man who beat his girlfriend because she didn’t bring In-N-Out burgers home for dinner pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to 60 days in jail.
The Mail Tribune reported 21-year-old Christian Berry was also put on probation for five years.
In-N-Out opened its first Oregon location on Sept. 9 in Medford.
Police dispatched to a hospital early the next day found a woman with a lump on her face and extensive bruising. She said her boyfriend punched her, kicked her, struck her with a cane and ordered her to sleep on the floor.
The 6-foot-2, 300-pound Berry told detectives it was because she didn’t bring the burgers.
The victim on Monday asked Judge Timothy Barnack to lift a no-contact order, saying she misses Berry and they want to get married.
The judge said he’d let a probation officer decide whether to allow contact after Berry takes anger management classes.
