14 December 2006Current trends in domestic violenceWhen you're eight years old, you can build a fort and put a "No Gurls Aloud" sign over the entrance. This isn't quite so impressive when you're forty-four:
A 44-year-old Elkins [AR] man was arrested Monday in connection with domestic battery and installing a booby trap in his home which shocked a woman, according to a police report.
[O]fficers found electrical fencing, used to keep livestock pinned in, installed on a bedroom doorknob which shocked the woman as she attempted to enter the room. The fencing was about 110 volts which was hooked to the doorknob by a wire hanger. The woman wasn't seriously injured from the shock but she also had a lump on her forehead. I'm assuming this isn't the guy who wrote this. Posted at 1:22 PM to Wastes of Oxygen |
