A Texas woman, 45, has been committed for mental evaluation after living in an apartment in Big Sandy for at least a week with her dead boyfriend’s body.
Police were flagged down last Friday by a man who stated that there was a stench coming from his sister’s apartment.
When police entered the apartment they found 50 year old William Drake dead on a couch. He appeared to have been dead at least a week. The woman apparently didn’t want to leave the apartment.
Burr said Drake died of natural causes and had recently stopped his dialysis treatments. He said Drake had lived for 10 years with the woman, who had been hospitalized for mental illness before. Burr declined to reveal her name.

A 20 year old woman is now facing charges of aggravated assault after she allegedly bit her boyfriend, broke a picture frame across his face and swung at him with a sword (who has a sword in their home???) during an argument about …. him not doing the dishes!
The woman’s 21 year old boyfriend told police that he became involved in the argument when the woman complained that the dishes were not clean. The woman apparently told the man to leave the apartment but he refused.
When he wouldn’t leave the woman tried to physically make the man leave. During the struggle the woman bit the man’s right shoulder and broke a picture frame across his face.
After that she grabbed a 2 foot sword and swung it at him. Luckily it missed!
The woman’s been released from a Mansfield jail after a $10,000 bond was posted.
The couple had only lived together for four months … perhaps the man is lucky that this happened now so he knows who’s he’s involved with!

I wonder if the family living in this apartment got better reception on their satellite service while their dog was wearing it’s very satellite dish like protective head cone?
The dog doesn’t seem to mind being a live receiver, does it? LOL
