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.

The cops arrested her instead of him... that in itself is unusual.

Looks like she got separated at birth from Manuel Noriega.
...And Manuel got all of the good looks.

With a fire extinguisher.

By any chance did it also involve lighter fluid, a razor, and an icepick?

That's the way they handle these things in Guatemala, and if you don't like it you are a RACIST XENOPHOBE.

LOL....those are grown and processed locally here in Louisiana. One day I picked a bag up at the Circle-K on my way in to work, and when I opened them I found that the pepper and dust coming off of them will make pretty much anybody sneeze.
I was walking around the office the rest of the day asking people if they wanted to smell my nuts. :-)

About 20 years ago, I had a friend who was cheating on his wife. She found out, and while he was sleeping, she emptied a box of Drano into a pot of boiling water, took the scalding brew to the bedroom and poured it on his crotch. Like the woman in the article, she too got arrested for aggravated assault.

I’m not a lawyer. I have no idea whether it’s legal. Probably a state by state thing.

I know the feeling.
(It's not easy finding appropriate threads for that work of yours, paulycy, but I did it...)
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

....its illegal to set a boyfriends crotch on fire? In Fort Lauderdale, on a Tuesday, yes. There are places where you can't buy liquor on a Sunday, too - I guess it's one of those local ordinances they've never gotten around to repealing.
