A 49-year-old woman was arrested as police claim she nearly struck an officer with a thrown inhaler. Janice McCoy-Nuttle, of the 900 block of Beech Street, was laying in a bed surrounded by as many as seven Chihuahaus and 10 cages filled with birds.
Police report a white parrot was standing on her forehead at the time, biting her face, while another smaller bird was perched on her chest. She was reportedly intoxicated to the point where she could not stand up and speak to officers and was unable to remove the bird from her face. Police were dispatched to the residence for a reported domestic disturbance between McCoy-Nuttle, her husband and some neighbors. The couple had reportedly been out celebrating the husband's homecoming after a four-month stint away from home for work.
Officers spoke with her husband, who appeared to be bleeding from the ear at the time. He gave officers several conflicting stories regarding his injury, ranging from McCoy-Nuttle pulling on his ear to injuring it while he was getting out of a vehicle.
McCoy-Nuttle became upset with her husband at some point and attempted to throw an inhaler at him, nearly striking an officer in the process, police said. She was arrested for disorderly conduct and taken to the Middletown City Jail, where police report she was increasingly uncooperative and threatened to kill herself.
Wow. Parrot people party crazy!
The parrot was “biting her face”.
I wonder that someone else we know did not catch this story and post it as a “Pit Parrot Mauling.”
Parrots are quite sensitive, and “imprint” on a particular human.
Cases of obsessive feather picking such as the one you pictured can occur if that relationship is disrupted.
Or sometimes they just go psycho.
I LOL'ed!
Who are you to judge their love?
“Kent, have you stopped masturbating?”
Sometimes stories just write themselves, but creating a headline like this takes genius.
I bet he did that for insurance purposes (despite the threats to the kids on the bus). I have done the same thing, never expecting the police to pursue my report, but needing it to file an insurance claim.
good point
Pining for the fjords!
I’m hoping that this November, the NY Post runs a headline: “TEABAGGED! DEMOCRATS TAKE IT ON THE CHIN”
Lovely plumage.
