I thought carrots were good for the eyes?

Monroe: A 46-year-old man is accused of assaulting his wife with a carrot, causing her to lose sight in one eye. Roderick Vecsey is charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct.

Pamela Vecsey, 46, underwent six hours of surgery after being hit in the left eye with the vegetable on Saturday night, but doctors were not able to restore her vision, prosecutor Stephanie Damiani said.

The couple was arguing when Roderick Vecsey tossed the carrot, Damiani said.

Young Driver

Ypsilanti Township: A 5-year-old boy hopped behind the wheel of a sport utility vehicle and drove it several blocks looking for his mother following an argument with his grandmother, authorities said.

The boy started the truck, cranked up the stereo and stood on the driver’s seat to see over the steering wheel, Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Cmdr. Dave Egeler said. The boy told sheriff’s deputies he was “looking for his mommy,” police reports said.
