• Wife bites off husband's ear during argument about beer, cops say

A Minnesota woman took a page out of Mike Tyson’s playbook when she bit off her husband’s ear during an argument on Friday, according to a statement of probable cause by The Smoking Gun.

 

Jamie Elrod, 37, of St. Cloud, faces a first-degree assault charge, the St. Cloud Times reported. Her husband has not been identified except by the initials J.D.E. in the probable cause document.

 

The couple had allegedly been out drinking and Elrod “had a hairy buffalo drink and she gets out of hand when she has those.”

 

The pair began arguing about beer and, when J.D.E. walked into the bedroom, Elrod followed and allegedly attacked him.

• Mom of alleged meth maker: He was making wine

 

A Chicago man on home monitoring for possessing what police said were meth-making materials, who wore a meth-related t-shirt in his booking photo, and who was found again with alleged meth-related paraphernalia was only making wine, his mom said.

 

Investigators reportedly found glass beakers, burners, chemicals and instructions for making controlled substances, according to The Tribune.

But his mother said they were carboys and pipettes used in winemaking. She said Daniel made two batches of wine.

 

In his 2014 mug shot, Daniel is pictured wearing a “Los Pollos Hermanos” t-shirt. That fictitious fast food restaurant was a front for a meth kingpin on the popular TV drama “Breaking Bad.”

Police in San Diego were searching late Thursday for a heavyset woman with facial hair who is suspected of stabbing a man. 

 

Investigators said the incident occurred in the citiy's East Village neighborhood at approximately 7:40 p.m. local time Wednesday. 

 

Police spokesman Robert Heims told Fox 5 San Diego that the 39-year-old victim, whose name has not been released, walked up to a group of people and asked for a cigarette. 

 

At that point, Heims said, the woman walked up to the victim and told him to get away from her things. She then stabbed him on the left side of his neck. 

 

The victim was taken to a local hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect fled the scene, and is described by police as a white woman "with a beard", weighing approximately 400 pounds and wearing a white T-shirt and jeans.

I sometimes feel like we do criminal justice backwards. Petty thiefs are pathetic people who bring nothing of value to the world and are nothing but a nuisance. Capital punishment for them would be a great benefit to humankind.
