WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
A Florida Woman is facing an assault charge after throwing a Bible at her boyfriend’s head, according to police who say the victim “had to duck to avoid being hit with the Holy Book.” During an argument in the St. Petersburg home she shares with the man, Terry Slaughter “picked up a Bible and threw it at the victim, almost striking him in the head.” Cops say the man “was in fear of being hit in the head with the Bible, and had to duck to avoid being hit with the Holy Book.” Slaughter denied throwing the Bible, claiming that the victim was “making this up to get her in trouble.” Charged with assault and criminal mischief, both misdemeanors, Slaughter was booked into the county jail and released on her own recognizance. She was ordered by a judge to have no contact with the victim. Slaughter, however, returned to her residence and “confronted” the victim. During an ensuing argument, she allegedly “scratched the victim’s neck, causing a visible injury.” Slaughter was arrested for domestic battery and booked into the county jail yet again.

The game was being played at Graham Middle School, with the visiting team from Troy. The suspect is a parent of a Graham player. Police and the referee who reportedly was head-butted say parents in the stands were upset because of calls made during the game.
