Football and home turf wars

On Ashby Terrace, a 54-year-old man said he was watching football when his live-in girlfriend got mad because he was watching TV. According to the man, she said: “You better turn off that television or else I’ll mess you up.” He said she had been drinking large amounts of alcoholic beverages all day.

He said the girlfriend went into the kitchen, returned with a can of green beans and threw it at his head. The green-bean can hit his face, causing a cut, he said. Then, he said, she started “going crazy.” He said she pulled a large mirror from the bedroom dresser, and it fell on her own leg. The mirror broke, causing a deep cut on the girlfriend’s thigh. The girlfriend, age 45, was arrested for aggravated assault.
