Vince Deal, the TV pitchman for the Sham Wow and Slap Chop, was arrested last month for felony battery of a prostitute in South Beach, Florida. The alleged victim, 26-year-old Sasha Harris was beaten severely about the face by Shlomi who claimed the woman bit his tongue during a kiss and refused to let go. Both parties were arrested as a result of their intoxicated brawl, but neither will be charged. That’s good news for all those folks who enjoy Vinny’s [entertaining commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matty-matheson-and-gozney).
