Blood’s pretty messy, too
May 16, 2008, 1:29 AM
A 46-year-old woman in the 1900 block of Euclid told police she was angry with her 51-year-old boyfriend “for being messy”. Before calling police, the woman said, they had an argument during which she put her hand through a glass window in a fit of anger. The responding officer observed blood splattered on the floors of the living room, kitchen and hall. The woman also claimed the man tried to strangle her, and stated she had consumed a pint of whiskey and a few beers. The woman, whose speech was slurred and erratic, showed no injuries consonant with a strangling—just the self-inflicted hand wounds. The boyfriend told police she “usually” does this when she drinks. Both parties agreed to go to different rooms for the night.
