SCOOP OF THE DAY:
According
to police, after her boyfriend repeatedly declined to have sex with
her, a Florida woman grabbed a kitchen knife and slashed him multiple
times in the face. In response to a 9-1-1 call about a disturbance at
a Vero Beach apartment, cops arrived at the residence around 3:30
a.m. Thursday and encountered Katherine Nieves-Tavarez at the front
door. The 27-year-old woman had blood on her clothing and hands. The
victim told officers that Nieves-Tavarez, his live-in girlfriend, had
been drinking and “asked to have sex, which he declined.” The man
added that “after declining multiple times,” Nieves-Tavarez
“became angry and started yelling at him.” Nieves-Tavarez then
allegedly retrieved a “large, silver kitchen knife” and followed
the man outside to the patio. There, Nieves-Tavarez allegedly slashed
the victim with the knife. She is now facing a felony battery charge.

WEIRD NEWS:Brought to you by FreshPatch.com (use promo code RADIO to save 10%)
A
West Virginia woman is accused of trying to steal a car, threatening
to drink deputies' blood, and hiding a knife in her buttocks. Citing
a criminal complaint, news outlets reported that 37-year-old Jackie
Fullmer tried to take a man's car keys, armed with a hatchet and
knife. Witnesses told deputies that Fullmer confronted a victim near
a Sunoco gas station in Fairmont, saying she didn't want to hurt them
and motioning like she had a weapon. However, Fullmer fled when she
noticed bystanders watching. Officials say security footage showed a
confrontation between Fullmer and the victim. A chase ensued when
deputies found her on a nearby staircase. A deputy shot Fullmer with
a stun gun when she ran at his cruiser with the hatchet in hand. She
threatened to stab deputies in the neck and watch their “blood
drain as she drank it” while being transported. Deputies say she
continued to threaten them on the way to the station. The hidden
knife was found during booking. She acknowledged using it to cut a
seat belt in the cruiser. (https://goo.gl/c6sMYn)
MOMENT OF DUH:
A
schoolboy had his drink spiked with Viagra by a classmate while they
were on a school trip to Berlin, his father has said. The
15-year-old, who attends Etonbury Academy in Arlesey, Bedfordshire,
had been on a six-day trip to the German capital when the incident
happened. Eighty pupils were on the trip where they were learning
about the Cold War and the Holocaust. It was said to be the
youngster’s first ever trip and he was left humiliated after news
of what happened spread to another school. The boy’s father told
the Comet: “He did it to be nasty and advertised it on Snapchat as
well.” The 16-year-old who spiked the drink has since been
suspended for two days. The boy’s father said he should have
received a harsher punishment. He stated, “Two days’ suspension
for putting a child’s life in danger is appalling.” Interim
principal at Etonbury Academy, Alan Lee, told the paper: “Etonbury
is aware of an incident arising from the recent school visit to
Berlin and has undertaken an investigation into the
incident.” (https://goo.gl/4Rt7YV)
