COPS: Woman attacked roommate with used kitty litter


Meee-ow!
picture.php


Northampton County, Pennsylvania police say 49-year-old woman went berserk on her much older male roommate after an argument about how to balance a checkbook and he refused to do her laundry.

Lisa A. Shafer’s elderly roommate tells police she repeatedly abused him.

Shafer is accused of barging into the man’s room and attacking him “after an argument over how to keep a checkbook, throwing a table with a puzzle on it and yelling at him,” The Express-Times reports.

“The victim stated that Shafer then picked up kitty litter and began scattering the litter throughout his room,” Slate Belt Regional police Detective Eric Donaldson wrote in court records, according to the paper.

“He stated that Shafer then picked up a hardened kitty litter that was cat urine and shoved it in his face.”

Shafer alleged picked up a chair to smash the man’s window, but when he tried to stop her, she hit him instead.

The abuse continued days later.

WFMZ reports:

On Wednesday, Shafer allegedly told her roommate to take her laundry with his to the laundromat. When he refused, she allegedly shoved him onto the couch and retrieved a knife from the kitchen.

The victim reported she held the knife to his face and demanded he do her laundry.

“He stated that he told her no and ‘Stop being crazy,'” Donaldson wrote in a report.

“He said she then placed the knife about 2 inches from his stomach and told him, ‘If you don’t do my laundry I will stab you.'”

The victim was “visibly shaking” as he recounted he attacks.

Shafer was arraigned on charges of “terroristic threats, simple assault and harassment.” She was being held at Northampton County Prison in lieu of 10 percent of $7,500 bail.

In a story so Australian it hurts, 25-year-old Joanne Hall received such severe blisters from running across hot sand at Fremantle beach on Thursday she had to be rushed to the burn unit.
The temperate that day had soared to a whopping 42.4C, but underestimating the temperature of the sand, poor Joanna made the dash to the water barefoot.
“The sand was very hot and I ran from the top of the beach down to the water,” Joanne told The West Australian.
The simple mistake made itself immediately known.
“I put them straight into the water and nearly passed out from the pain,” Joanne said.
“I kept them soaking for a good half an hour [in cold water] and my brother, stepdad and his friend arrived and had to carry me up the beach back to the car.”
Upon arriving at hospital she was administered pain relief and had to have her burnt skin removed. She is constrained to a wheelchair for the remainder of summer.

Caffeine DUI

Caffeine DUI

Sheesh…

A Man in California Is Fighting a Caffeine DUI, and the State Won't Back Down

Is caffeine to blame, or is this guy just a really bad driver?

California man is in the midst of a lengthy legal battle following a driving under the influence charge that was issued almost 18 months ago for operating a car while under the influence of caffeine, reports said. I'm sorry, did we miss something? When did it become illegal to drive after consuming some espresso?

Joseph Schwab, 36, was pulled over on August 5, 2015, by a California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control agent in an unmarked car who claimed the 36-year-old had cut her off and was driving erratically, The Guardian reported. The agent administered a breathalyzer test which displayed a 0.00% blood alcohol level, according to Schwab's lawyer. After that test, Schwab was put into county jail and had his blood taken for an addition toxicology test. The following report concluded that he had no illegal drugs in his system.

It wasn't until samples were sent to an outside testing facility in Pennsylvania that caffeine showed up as the only drug in Schwab's system when he was arrested, The Guardian reported. Now, just about 18 months later, Schwab and his attorney are gearing up for trial.

Schwab's lawyer, defense attorney Stacey Barrett, has filed a motion for the case to be dropped because no charges were actually filed until almost 10 months following the arrest. If that doesn't go through, the case will be brought in front of a jury in January.

The chief deputy district attorney in the county where Schwab was held, Sharon Henry said her office was “conducting further investigation in this matter," The Guardian reported. “The charge of driving under the influence is not based upon the presence of caffeine in his system."

According to California law, a drug is any substance that isn't alcohol that might “impair, to an appreciable degree” a driver's capability behind the wheel. How the state might attempt to argue caffeine did that to Schwab, we are not sure.

“No one believed me that I only had caffeine in my system until I showed them the lab results,” said Schwab, according to The Guardian. “I want the charges to be dismissed and my name to be cleared.”

2 things come to mind.

1. Theyre trying to gain legal precedent over justification of nothing. They can't win and if they do it will be bad news for any substance potentially like nicotine even. I hope he sues the shit out of them.

2. There are undercover dept of alc bev con that drive around and can pull you over? Lol fuck California. They planning on sending the marijuana control board out on the roads to do the same bullshit?

Dog mauls owners after they tried to put sweater on him

Dog mauls owners after they tried to put sweater on him

TAMPA, Fla. (WFTS) -

Three people were injured after police said their dog attacked them when they tried to dress him in a sweater.

According to Tampa Police, a pit bull mix named Scarface bit its owner and two other family members at a home in Tampa on Friday afternoon.

Tampa Police said 52-year-old Brenda Guerrero tried to put a sweater on the dog when he attacked. Her husband, 46-year-old Ismael Guerrero, attempted to pull Scarface off his wife when the dog began attacking him.

Police said the couple's son, 22-year-old Antoine Harris, then got a knife and stabbed the dog in the head and neck to try to stop the attack. The dog then began attacking Harris. All three were able to escape into the house, leaving the dog in the backyard.

"Officers responding said the dog was pretty aggressive," Eddy Durkin with Tampa Police said. "When they tazed the dog the dog was still pulling away and was able to release the prongs from the tazer."

When Animal Control and Tampa Police arrived to the home, the dog was shot with a tranquilizer gun. After the dog got into the house, where there were two children in the back room, officers deployed a bean bag gun and taser to subdue the dog. Eventually, the dog was captured by Animal Control by using a "catch pole."

Brenda and Ismael Guerrero were both taken to a hospital to be treated for their injuries. Brenda Guerrero's injuries are believed to be serious, though not life threatening.

Neighbors said the family just got the dog about a month ago. They said at times Scarface would get out of the yard and run through the neighborhood.

"You got kids here, kids there, and if that dog gets out the gate it could be dangerous to a kid," Joe Montgomery said. "But he never attacked no one on the street as far as I know."
