Some Domestic Disputes are Epic
Columbia, SC
A 35-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman who live together argued all night Nov. 18 at their residence on Connie Drive. Police were called twice. After they left the second time, the woman left the home and returned at 7:45 a.m. When she got home, the man still wanted to argue so she locked herself in the bathroom and fell asleep on the floor.
When she woke up for work, she discovered that her clothes and personal items were gone from the house. The man had burned her work clothes and threw them in the woods and tossed her personal paperwork in a pond. When cops showed up again, he admitted that he had taken out his frustration on the woman’s things, saying he was upset that she had left and wanted nothing of hers in the house. He was arrested and jailed for malicious injury to personal property.

“Malicious injury to personal property?” Where do they get these charges? I can’t shake a picture of a Wally Mart smock with it’s arm in a sling.

Well said, Mike, that got my attention too. So now my old sweatshirt has a right to police protection?
