A Florida man has been arrested for giving his girlfriend a 'wet willy'.

Joseph Sireci, 47, was charged with second-degree battery after he licked his finger and stuck it in his girlfriend's ear.

Sireci's girlfriend, whose name has not been released, said she came home from work on August 15 and found him intoxicated.

She said Sireci, who she described as her live-in boyfriend, was drunk and lying on the living room floor of their Fort Pierce home, the MailOnline reported.

The girl told investigators that Sireci started "arguing with her and being rude".

She then decided to take her daughter to her nurse's house, according to the Miami Herald.

But Sierci followed her and "continued to drink and be belligerent", the woman told police.

When Sireci and his girlfriend were on their way back home after dropping her daughter off, he grabbed her hand and pulled her arm. He then gave her a wet willy.

His girlfriend said she repeatedly told Sireci to stop and asked him to get out of the car, but he refused.

She said he continued to be belligerent once they returned home, throwing objects around the house. Her daughter has confirmed her account.

Sireci was arrested and taken into custody at the St Lucie County Jail and later released on $2,500 bond.

Although he refused to give a written statement to investigators, Sireci claimed that he was not intoxicated at the time of the incident.
