Lottery winner gets attacked

A few months ago a 55 year old woman was about to go into the Virginia Lottery office to cash winning lottery tickets worth $10,000 when she was attacked.

The two men who attacked her are now behind bars. Blake Jordan and Kenneth Marshall, both 22, apparently attacked the woman with a hammer. They’ve been charged with maiming, attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.

One of the men is apparently a nephew of the 55 year old woman. Isn’t that cold blooded?

Keary Fox, 56, a lottery worker, first hear the woman scream at 1:10 pm so he ran outside and saw Jordan on top of the woman. He put Jordan in a headlock while a customer took the hammer out of his hand. The pair held him until police arrived. Marshall was arrested later in the day.

The woman suffered lacerations to the back of the head. Lucky for her that lottery worker came by when he did or she might have had worse injuries or perhaps even have been murdered.

Angry wife was really fired up

A spurned Chinese wife from the Eastern province of Shandong China was so upset with her husband that she set more than 400 cell phones on fire!

The couple co-owned a successful retail business and when her husband walked out on their marriage she retaliated by destroying their stock of mobile phones valued at more than $42,000 US. After she set fire to the phones she walked out of the house.

Luckily neighbors saw smoke coming from the house and called the firefighters who extinguished the blaze quickly.

The 37 year old woman has been arrested for arson.

A real dog fight

Back in December a 25 year old woman was arrested for assaulting her then boyfriend.

The couple had been in the shower when they began arguing over whether the boyfriends dog could join them. The woman objected to allowing the dog in the shower stating it would be a relationship deal breaker. The boyfriend then responded by saying that he hoped his next girlfriend would appreciate the dog more.

According to police that was when the woman lost it and began punching her boyfriend several times in the face. The man apparently ended up with a dislocated shoulder as well!

Sounds pretty kinky to me.

Mugger apoligizes for pulling knife on wrong man

A would-be mugger ended up apologizing to his victim stating that he had the wrong guy.

The 36 year old man pulled a knife on a man who was unloading his groceries just outside of his home. This occurred in Fond du Lac.

The mugger asked for money and tried to punch the 27 year old man, however another man intervened by pulling the mugger away.

The suspect returned sometime later to apologize stating that he mistook the victim for someone else. He was arrested later that evening as he left a convenience store and held in the Fond du County jail on a charge of disorderly conduct and use of a dangerous weapon.

Can you imagine being attacked and then having the mugger come back and say sorry I though you were someone else? Strange!
