Woman Busted for Setting Boyfriend's Crotch Ablaze

Aggravated assault charge for woman who started fire on guy's privates

If the John Wayne Bobbit story has taught men anything, it's to never fall asleep with an angry woman nearby. But a Fort Lauderdale man whose angry girlfriend allegedly set his crotch on fire apparently doesn't know the Bobbit story.

Sheldon Gonzales said he was asleep on his couch Tuesday night when he was suddenly "awakened by a burning sensation in the crotch of his pants," according to a report from the Broward Sheriff's Office.

Standing over Gonzales was girlfriend Berlinda Dixon-Newbold, cigarette lighter in hand.

Gonzales quickly realized the bottom of his shirt, which was laying over his crotch was on fire. He was able to put out the small blaze with his hands, police said. When Gonzales tried to leave, Dixon-Newbold confronted him at the door and a "heated argument" broke out. A neighbor called police, who showed up and arrested the 38-year-old woman for aggravated assault.

Dixon-Newbold was being held on $6,500 bail.

NEVER have a ‘relationship’ with a woman who has a hyphenated last name.

I know that’s ‘profiling’ but unless there is a glaring name-brand recognition issue (like an actress getting married) the hyphenated-woman is gonna have power/ control/ victim issues.

I’m just sayin’ ...

I mean, look at the news! ;-)
